HAC is applying for $75 million in the PRICE Main competition, to be used over six years. HAC’s goals for its PRICE program are the preservation and revitalization of manufactured housing and manufactured housing communities in rural communities across the United States, with a focus on places of high poverty. The revitalization activities will also increase resilience to extreme weather, natural hazards, and disaster events. We plan to use our funds to assist mission-oriented housing organizations (nonprofits and public entities) become owners of at risk manufactured housing communities or address infrastructure needs in communities already owned by mission-oriented housing organizations.

HAC will take a three-pronged approach: 1) provide technical assistance to housing organizations that already own manufactured housing communities or are interested in becoming owners, 2) make grants and forgivable loans to nonprofit or public housing organizations for the acquisition of manufactured housing communities or to address the infrastructure needs at communities already owned by them, and 3) make grants to partner legal assistance and community-based organizations to assist residents of manufactured homes clear heirs’ and/or tangled land titles and convert their property to real estate status, targeting rural communities of color and/or persistent poverty rural communities.

Thank you for your interest in HAC’s PRICE application! We look forward to working with you to continue to improve rural housing conditions around the country.
