Expansion of Attainable Homeownership Through Manufactured Housing Act of 2023
This bill amends the definition of manufactured homes under federal law by removing the requirement that they be "built on a permanent chassis." The change directly affects manufactured home owners and manufacturers by potentially expanding eligibility for certain housing programs and financing options previously restricted to traditional homes. Within 90 days of enactment, a federal committee must develop revised safety standards for manufactured homes to implement this definition change. The core provision simplifies regulatory classification, aiming to make manufactured housing more accessible as a homeownership option.
