Administrative Plan 4/1/2016 Page 15-10 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- assisted families may occupy manufactured homes in two different ways. (1) A family can choose to rent a manufactured home already installed on a space and SAHA 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 two-bedroom unit or, where approved by HUD, the 40th percentile of the rental distribution of manufactured home spaces for the FMR area. SAHA may establish a payment standard for manufactured home spaces that is between 90-110 percent of the FMR for manufactured home spaces. SAHA Policy SAHA has established the payment standard for manufactured home space as 110% of the published FMR. 3-332
