U.S. Trustee Program

Congress took a critical step in 2005 to include home-only loans in the definition of a principal residence- but without aligning 1322(b)(2), the protection remains incomplete. Congress should enact a clarifying amendment to extend 1322(b)(2)s protection to all loans secured by a debtors primary residence, as it intended with the 2005 amendment. This would prevent cram downs on manufactured home-only loans, which constitute nearly two-thirds of all loans in the manufactured housing market. By aligning treatment with site-built home mortgages, the bankruptcy code will help preserve lending in this vital affordable housing sector.
