Implementation of the Manufactured Housing Provisions Final Rule

The Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program (SFHGLP) published a Final Rule on January 3, 2025 with a correction published on March 4, 2025, making existing manufactured homes, which meet specific criteria, eligible for financing. In addition, the Final Rule reduces regulatory burdens related to manufactured housing requirements and provides flexibilities for energy efficient manufactured and modular homes located in land lease communities operating on a non-profit basis.

The Final Rule became effective on May 5, 2025.

To implement the Final Rule, revisions have been made to Chapters 2, 6, 12, and 13, as well as Appendices 2, 3, and 7, of HB-1-3555, SFH Guaranteed Loan Program Technical Handbook. These changes became effective upon the May 5, 2025 issuance of a Procedure Notice (PN).

Questions regarding program policy and this announcement may be directed to sfhgld.program@usda.gov or (833) 314-0168.

Thank you for supporting the Single-Family Housing Guaranteed Loan Program!
