Revising the Definition of “Manufactured Home” to Lower Housing Costs

This proposed rule would amend the definition of "manufactured home" in HUD's Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (MHCSS), Model Manufactured Home Installation Standards (MMHIS), and Manufactured Home Installation Program (MHIP) to provide that a transportable section of a manufactured home serving as part of an upper floor of a manufactured home would not need to be transported or built on a permanent chassis.
