Promoting Resident Ownership of Manufactured Home Communities Act
This bill creates a federal grant program to help states, tribes, and local governments establish policies that allow residents of manufactured home communities to purchase their communities. The program requires recipients to use at least 25% of grant funds for land and infrastructure and to adopt model laws that mandate owners notify residents before selling, giving residents the right to match the sale price and negotiate terms. Eligible entities must demonstrate that their policies provide residents with meaningful opportunities to buy communities, with specific protections against retaliation and requirements that sale offers be available to all potential buyers. The legislation defines eligible owners as government entities, nonprofits, and resident cooperatives, while exempting certain family transfers and internal business transactions from the purchase opportunity requirements.
