Today\u2019s updates will expedite the home production process by cutting red tape and eliminating the need for manufacturers to obtain alternative construction approvals for materials that already meet or exceed HUD standards\u2014helping build more manufactured homes that will lower housing costs for American families. Updating the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, commonly referred to as the \u201cHUD Code,\u201d supports the Biden-Harris Administration\u2019s goals to expand the domestic supply of safe, affordable and energy efficient manufactured homes. For example, the final rule enables multi-unit single family manufactured homes to be built under the HUD Code for the first time, extending the cost-saving benefits of manufactured housing to denser urban and suburban infill contexts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cManufactured homes are an affordable housing option for Americans across the country,\u201d\u00a0<strong>said HUD Acting Secretary Adrianne Todman.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cThis update of the HUD Code is long overdue and will help increase production while also ensuring modern designs to suit the needs of families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HUD\u2019s Assistant Secretary for Housing Julia Gordon these changes at a press conference today in Elkhart, Indiana, the home of the RV and Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n<p>HUD makes this change today as the Department marks the 50th anniversary of the passage of the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards Act. Effective as federal law on August 22, 1974, the Act authorized HUD to establish nationally preemptive federal standards for the design and construction of all manufactured homes built in the United States. Today the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, commonly known as the \u201cHUD Code,\u201d is administered by HUD\u2019s Office of Manufactured Housing Programs and remains the guiding federal standard for ensuring that manufactured housing \u2013 the homes of more than 20 million individuals and families \u2013 remain safe, durable, and affordable.<\/p>\n<p>HUD recognizes the significant need to increase the supply of safe and quality affordable housing and is committed to fostering increased production and broader consumer acceptance of manufactured housing as a viable, affordable, and comparable alternative to a site-built home. In addition to the final rule, today HUD\u2019s Office of Manufactured Housing Programs issued an industry-wide\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hud.gov\/sites\/dfiles\/Housing\/documents\/24-IW4-AC%20Industry%20Wide%20(Multi-Unit)%20NEW_September2024.pdf\"><strong>Alternative Construction Letter<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0that provides the terms and conditions for manufacturers to gain approval of designs and build multi-unit manufactured homes immediately, rather than waiting six months for the standards contained in the final rule to become effective. The updates announced today enact a significant number of recommendations made by the federally mandated Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe changes to the HUD Code we\u2019ve finalized today will expand the choices among manufactured homes available for the nation\u2019s homebuyers, while increasing the production and availability of innovative manufactured home designs that are safer, modern, and comparable to site-built homes,\u201d\u00a0<strong>said Assistant Secretary for Housing Julia Gordon<\/strong>. \u201cThese updates will bring the HUD Code in alignment with today\u2019s construction standards and reduce operational complexity for manufacturers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Key additions and updates included in the final rule now allow:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Up to four unit manufactured homes:<\/strong>\u00a0Changes to regulatory language allow single family manufactured homes to offer up to four dwelling units while ensuring comprehensive fire safety to occupants by adding benchmarks and guidelines that meet Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety standards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Open floor plans, truss designs, and specifications for attics<\/strong>: The updated requirements for exterior door separation and structural design enable open floorplans that maintain fire safety, clarify unclear provisions, and enable optimization of truss design. In addition, the final rule includes more clarity regarding structural design requirements for attics.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ridge roof designs:<\/strong>\u00a0Revised definitions and regulatory language allow certain specified roof ridge designs (peak cap and peak flip roof assemblies) without a requirement for specific on-site inspections by a HUD-approved agency, except for certain exclusions. This type of roof installation is common through the industry and uses technology that is time-tested. This update is beneficial for manufacturers and consumers by incorporating more recent design practices into the regulations and eliminating unnecessary inspections and associated costs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Materials that facilitate modern design approaches and improve quality:<\/strong>\u00a0Updates to reference standards for materials (wood, steel, piping) and products align with other building standards, allow the use of more modern design approaches and installation of alternative materials, and improve the quality and safety of homes for consumers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accessibility improvements<\/strong>: Modifications to standards for accessible showers comply with national disability standards for roll in showers. This eliminates the need for HUD alternative construction approval and reduce cost and burdens for manufacturers and consumers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Modern and energy-saving appliances<\/strong>: Updated and newly added standards allow for the use of more modern and energy efficient appliances, including gas-fired tankless water heaters, eliminating the need for HUD alternative construction approvals for use of such appliances.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Additional process efficiencies that save time and reduce costs:<\/strong>\u00a0Improved language stipulating prerequisites for the process of obtaining installation licenses increase flexibility for installers; updates to water system piping testing procedures decrease on-site testing time; and utilization of appliance QR codes for manuals and information will reduce paperwork and bookkeeping.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>View the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/public-inspection\/2024-20545\/manufactured-home-construction-and-safety-standards\"><strong>full list of updates<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to HUD\u2019s Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards.<\/p>\n<p>Under the Biden-Harris Administration, HUD has prioritized increasing the supply of high-quality manufactured housing.

While other regulatory changes incorporated in this final rule will become effective 180 days after publication, HUD stated in a press briefing for local media that the multi-unit authorization, due to its importance to the industry and consumers, will be subject to a regulatory waiver making that provision\u00a0<u>effective immediately<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Readers\u00a0will recall that MHARR took up the multi-unit manufactured housing issue in 2014, when then-HUD program Administrator Pamela Danner issued an edict to the industry asserting that multi-unit manufactured homes were prohibited by the HUD Code standards and particularly section 24 C.F.R. 3280.2, which defines a manufactured home as a \u201cdwelling,\u201d comprising \u201cone or more habitable rooms which are designed to be occupied by one family\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In a communication dated November 12, 2014, MHARR\u00a0<u>aggressively objected<\/u>\u00a0to this single-family limitation on HUD Code homes, pointing out, among other things,\u00a0<u>that there was no corresponding provision in the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Standards Act\u00a0 of 1974 \u2013 HUD\u2019s authorizing statute \u2013 limiting manufactured homes to single-family use<\/u>\u00a0(or otherwise supporting HUD\u2019s supposed limitation). With no supporting authority in the governing statute, MHARR maintained that the alleged regulatory prohibition on multi-family manufactured housing use was invalid, illegitimate and void. These and other points raised at that time by MHARR are set forth in written comments filed by MHARR in connection with the present rulemaking process on August 22, 2022 (copy attached,\u00a0<u>see<\/u>\u00a0pp. 8-11).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>With no statutory support for its position, HUD was inevitably forced to yield on the multi-unit issue. This resulted in MHARR\u2019s submission of a multi-unit manufactured housing proposal to the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC). Following debate and further development, a multi-unit proposed rule was approved by the MHCC and submitted to HUD for adoption. This led to a proposed rule published by HUD on July 19, 2022. That proposal, however, sought to limit multi-unit manufactured homes to\u00a0<u>three family units<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In its August 22, 2022 written comments to HUD regarding that proposed rule, MHARR\u00a0<u>objected to the three family unit limitation<\/u>, asserting again that there was\u00a0<u>no statutory basis<\/u>\u00a0for any such limitation. Instead, MHARR urged HUD to either establish no cap on family units, or to expand the number of family units to four, in order to allow manufacturers greater flexibility in meeting the needs of an even larger number of consumers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Based on HUD\u2019s September 11, 2024 News Release, it appears that HUD, in its final rule, has accepted such an increase to four units, even though its purported rationale for establishing\u00a0<u>any<\/u>\u00a0limit at all has not yet been revealed. Needless to say, while MHARR commends HUD for increasing the number of permissible units to four, it nevertheless reserves its right to object to\u00a0<u>any\u00a0<\/u>limitation at all through further proceedings before the MHCC or as otherwise warranted. MHARR will fully analyze the entirety of HUD\u2019s final rule when it is officially published on September 16, 2024, and will take further action (and publish the same) as warranted.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>MHARR President and CEO Mark Weiss, attending the current MHCC meeting in Elkhart, Indiana, stated: \u201cThis final rule is a tribute to the ingenuity and persistence of MHARR member manufacturers in seeking to open this new market segment. As MHARR has long maintained, mainstream HUD Code manufactured housing is the irreplaceable key to providing affordable homeownership to masses of homebuyers in the United States without the need for costly taxpayer-funded subsidies. The industry, therefore, must continue to press for the advancement of mainstream, affordable manufactured housing and insist that regulators implement existing laws to clear zoning barriers and advance the availability of consumer financing \u2013 key bottlenecks that have impaired the growth of the industry &#8212; to make this a robust reality for potential homebuyers across the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform is a Washington, D.C.- based national trade association representing the views and interests of independent producers of federally-regulated manufactured housing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8212; 30 &#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR)<br \/>\n1331 Pennsylvania Ave N.W., Suite 512<br \/>\nWashington D.C. 20004<br \/>\nPhone: 202\/783-4087<br \/>\nFax: 202\/783-4075<br \/>\nEmail:\u00a0<u><a href=\"mailto:MHARRDG@AOL.COM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MHARRDG@AOL.COM<\/a><\/u><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Website:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.manufacturedhousingassociation.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>www.manufacturedhousingassociation.org<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/MHARR.hud4thand5thmhccproposedrulecommentsSept12.2024CopyForMHProNewOnHUDfinalizingMultiFamilyManufacturedHomes.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MHARR attachment<\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Part III Additional Information with More Masthead on MHProNews Analysis and Commentary<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"HUD announces major updates to help expand manufactured housing supply\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xnRcqC_Zv2Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>1) HUD&#8217;s own press release said it. &#8220;<em>HUD marks 50 years of the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, while announcing the most extensive updates in more than three decades to modernize manufactured home features, increase consumer demand, and expand America\u2019s affordable housing supply.&#8221; <\/em>Meaning, while they tried to put lipstick and election season razzle dazzle on the matter, they admit it took decades to update the HUD Code, per their own release.<\/p>\n<p>2) MHARR said they raised this issue a decade ago (2014).
