Please read the following information carefully before applying — as an affordable housing provider, MVI's application process will require you to provide a number of documents. For this reason, the process can take time, and we cannot provide immediate housing assistance.

A $50 application fee is required to help cover the cost of credit, background, and rental history checks which we use to carefully screen applicants and support safe, stable housing throughout the Mon Valley.

The steps outlined below will help you navigate the application process:

1. Gather required documents: As part of the application process, a number of documents will need to be provided which can be found at the link below. Some of these items may take time to retrieve, so it is recommended to start gathering them as soon as possible.
