<br />(1) A family can choose to rent a manufactured home already installed on a space and the PHA <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-VI.D <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. SPECIAL POLICIES FOR MANUFACTURED HOME OWNERS WHO LEASE <br />A SPACE <br />Family Income <br />In determining the annual income of families leasing manufactured home spaces, the value of the <br />asset. <br />Lease and HAP Contract <br />There is a separate Tenancy Addendum (Form 52642-a) and separate HAP Contract (Form <br />52642) for this special housing type. <br />15-VI.C. PAYMENT STANDARD, UTILITY ALLOWANCE AND HAP CALCULATION <br />Payment Standards <br />The FMR for a manufactured home space is generally 40 percent of the published FMR for a 2- <br />bedroom unit or, where approved by HUD, the 40th percentile of the rental distribution of <br />manufactured home spaces for the FMR area. The PHA 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 />SAHA Policy <br />The SAHA has established the payment standard for manufactured home space as 110% <br />of the published FMR. <br />Utility Allowance <br />The PHA 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 />charge if the family actually incurred a hook-up charge because of a move. This allowance will <br />not be given to a family that leases in place. Utility allowances for manufactured home space <br />must not include the costs of digging a well or installing a septic system. <br />SAHA Policy <br /> <br />The utility allowance for a mobile home, regardless if the participant is the owner of the <br />coach or a renter, will be a flat rate. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 15-8 <br />04/01/14 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
