PRICE Act

This bill would set up a competitive grant program to fix and improve manufactured home communities across the country. Grant money could pay for things like roads, utilities, community facilities, home repairs or replacements, planning, safety and accessibility upgrades, buying land to expand or build communities, and resident services such as relocation help, eviction prevention, and down payment assistance. It also allows other projects that improve living conditions, support community spaces, and protect residents’ health, safety, and long‑term affordability.

Projects that mainly help low‑ and moderate‑income residents and keep homes affordable would be put first in line for funding. Funds cannot be used to rehab homes built before June 15, 1976; those older units must be removed and replaced with homes that meet current safety standards or another allowed home type, as decided by the Secretary. The Secretary could waive some rules to help use the funds, but not rules about fair housing, nondiscrimination, labor standards, or the environment. The Secretary would set the grant selection rules and may reserve some funds for Indian Tribes and tribally designated housing entities. The bill authorizes whatever funding is needed for this program.

• Who is affected: Residents of manufactured home communities and groups eligible to apply for these grants, including Indian Tribes and tribally designated housing entities.
• What changes: A new grant program to improve community infrastructure, repair or replace homes, support resident services, and enhance safety and accessibility, with priority for low‑ and moderate‑income residents .
• When: The Secretary will publish rules and funding notices for how to apply and be selected for grants.
