The Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness grant program (MVP) provides support for cities and towns in Massachusetts to build resilience to climate change. Communities who complete the MVP Planning program (MVP1.0) become certified as an MVP community and are eligible for future funding to complete resilience projects. Since 2017, nearly every Massachusetts municipality has participated in MVP1.0. Starting in 2023, communities have the opportunity to participate in the updated program, MVP2.0. MVP 2.0 builds on the work communities have done to date, fills gaps from the VMP 1.0 process, and supports communities with new processes, tools, and resources for building resilience. The MVP program is run by the Massachusetts Office of Environmental Affairs (EEA). See the MVP website for more details.
