Expanding Manufactured Housing Definition: New Options for Affordable Homes and Financing.
This Act expands the federal definition of a manufactured home to include structures built without a permanent chassis. The goal is to boost housing supply by ensuring these new types of homes receive equal treatment under state laws regarding financing, insurance, and taxation, just like traditional manufactured homes. States failing to adopt these parity rules face a prohibition on the sale and installation of these new homes.
