Implementation of the Manufactured Housing Provisions Final Rule

The Single-Family Housing Direct Program 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 5, 9, and 12 as well as Appendices 2 and 3, of HB-1-3550 Direct SFH Loans and Grants - Field Office Handbook. These changes became effective upon the May 5, 2025, issuance of Procedure Notice (PN) 640.

Thank you for supporting the Single-Family Housing Direct Loan and Grant Program!
