Tax Credit for Selling Mobile Home Park Land to Residents: Securing Affordable Housing.
This Act introduces a new business tax credit for owners of manufactured home communities who sell the land to resident cooperatives or non-profit entities. The goal is to preserve critical affordable housing for low-income households by allowing residents to gain ownership and control over the land, thereby stabilizing site fees and preventing disruptive community closures. The credit covers 75% of the qualified gain from the sale.
