USDA Proposed Rule-Manufactured Housing Provisions

On August 16, 2023, a Proposed Rule was published in the Federal Register seeking comments on proposed changes to Handbook 1-3550 and Handbook 1-3555 that would make existing manufactured homes, which meet specific criteria, eligible for financing. In addition, the proposal reduces regulatory burdens related to manufactured housing requirements and provides flexibilities for energy efficient manufactured and modular homes located in land lease communities operating on a non-profit basis.

Comments on the proposed rule must be received on or before October 16, 2023. Comments are invited through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at www.regulations.gov
