15-V.C. HOUSING QUALITY STANDARDS <br />All standard HQS requirements apply to cooperative housing units. There are no additional HQS <br />requirements. <br />PART VI: MANUFACTURED HOMES <br />[24 CFR 982.620 through 982.624] <br />15-VLA. OVERVIEW <br />A manufactured home is a manufactured structure, transportable in one or more parts, that is <br />built on a permanent chassis, and designed for use as a principal place of residence. HCV- <br />assisted families may occupy manufactured homes in two different ways. <br />(1) A family can choose to rent a manufactured home already installed on a space and SAHA <br />must permit it. In this instance program rules are the same as when a family rents any other <br />residential housing, except that there are special HQS requirements as provided in 15-VLD <br />below. <br />(2) HUD also permits an otherwise eligible family that owns a manufactured home to rent a <br />space for the manufactured home and receive HCV assistance with the rent for the space. PHAs <br />may, but are not required to, provide assistance for such families. <br />15-VI.B.

SAHA may establish a payment standard for <br />manufactured home spaces that is between 90-110 percent of the FMR for manufactured home <br />spaces. <br />Utility Allowance <br />SAHA must establish utility allowances for manufactured home space rental. For the first 12 <br />months of the initial lease term only, the allowance must include an amount for a utility hook-up <br />11/29/10 Page 15-8 <br />
