PART VI: MANUFACTURED HOMES [24 CFR 982.620 through 982.624] 15-VI.A. OVERVIEW A manufactured home is a manufactured structure, transportable in one or more parts, that is built on a permanent chassis, and designed for use as a principal place of residence. HCV- assistedfamilies may occupy manufactured homes in two different ways. (1) A family can choose to rent a manufactured home already installed on a space and SARA must permit it. In this instance program rules are the same as when a family rents any other residential housing, except that there are special HQS requirements as provided in 15-VI.D below. (2) HUD also permits an otherwise eligible family that owns a manufactured home to rent a space for the manufactured home and receive HCV assistance with the rent for the space. PHAs may, but are not required to, provide assistance for such families. 15-VI.B. SPECIAL POLICIES FOR MANUFACTURED HOME OWNERS WHO LEASE A SPACE Family Income In determining the annual income of families leasing manufactured home spaces, the value of the family's equity in the manufactured home in which the family resides is not counted as a family asset. Lease and HAP Contract There is a separate Tenancy Addendum (Form 52642-a) and separate HAP Contract (Form 52642) for this special housing type. 15-VI.C. PAYMENT STANDARD, UTILITY ALLOWANCE AND HAP CALCULATION Payment Standards The FMR for a manufactured home space is generally 40 percent of the published FMR for a 2- bedroomunit or, where approved by HUD, the 40th percentile of the rental distribution of manufactured home spaces for the FMR area. SARA may establish a payment standard for manufactured home spaces that is between 90-110 percent of the FMR for manufactured home spaces. Utility Allowance SARA must establish utility allowances for manufactured home space rental. For the first 12 months of the initial lease term only, the allowance must include an amount for a utility hook-up charge if the family actually incurred ahook-up charge because of a move. This allowance will not be given to a family that leases in place. Utility allowances for manufactured home space must not include the costs of digging a well or installing a septic system. 7/02/12 Page 15-10
