(HOTMA)
? Section 8(o)(12) of the United States Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C ? 1437f(o)(12))
provides that a public housing agency (PHA) may make Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) rental assistance payments on behalf of a family that owns a manufactured home, utilizes it as their principal place of residence, and rents the real property on which the manufactured home is located.
? On July 29, 2016, HOTMA was signed into law. ? Section 112 of HOTMA amends section 8(o)(12) of the United States Housing Act of 1937
with respect to the use of voucher assistance provided to families who are owners of manufactured housing.
? On January 18, 2017, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
published a notice at 82 FR 5458 ("January 18, 2017, implementation notice"), implementing various HOTMA provisions that impact the HCV program, including Section 112.
? The provisions in the January 18, 2017, implementation notice went into effect on April 18,
2017.
? To provide further guidance on how HOTMA changes manufactured home space rental
assistance, Notice PIH 2017-18 was issued on September 7, 2017.
PIH Notice 2017-18 Housing Choice Voucher Program ? Guidance on
Manufactured Home Space Rentals
? Notice PIH 2017-18 was issued on September 7, 2017. ? The notice provides guidance on the recent statutory change in the housing
assistance payment (HAP) calculation for the special housing type Manufactured Home Space Rentals in HCV Program.
? The notice also provides general guidance on administering the manufactured
home space rentals in the HCV program.
Manufactured Housing Space Rental ? How it differs from
other manufactured housing assistance under the HCV
Program
A manufactured home may be an assisted unit under the HCV program in one of three ways:
? Regular rental assistance: The family rents a manufactured home under the regular voucher program. There is no
separate charge to the family for the home space--the rental of the unit covers both the manufactured housing unit and the space. PHAs must permit a family to lease a manufactured home and space with assistance under the program ? this is not a special housing type where PHAs has discretion over whether to provide this type of assistance.
? Homeownership voucher assistance: The family purchases the manufactured home under the homeownership
voucher program and the program assists the family with their monthly homeownership expenses. This is a special housing type under the HCV program, meaning that the PHA is not required to provide this type of assistance as part of its HCV program, except if needed as a reasonable accommodation.
? Manufactured home space rental assistance: The family owns the manufactured home but is renting the space under
the manufactured home space rental special housing type. This is also special housing type under the HCV program. The HOTMA change for manufactured housing only impacts this type of HCV assistance.
Manufactured Home Space Rental and Other Special Housing Types
In accordance with ?982.601, the PHA may permit a family to use any of the following special housing types in accordance with requirements of the program:
? Single room occupancy (SRO) housing ? Congregate housing ? Group home ? Shared housing ? Manufactured home when the family owns the home and leases the manufactured home space ? Cooperative housing or homeownership option
In general, the PHA is not required to permit families (including families that move into the PHA program under portability procedures) to use any of these special housing types, and may limit the number of families using special housing types.
The PHA must permit use of any special housing type if needed as a reasonable accommodation so that the program is readily accessible to and usable by persons with disabilities in accordance with 24 CFR part 8.
