Manufactured Housing Programs

The Office of Manufactured Housing Programs (OMHP) administers the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (the Act) which authorizes HUD to establish federal standards for the design and construction of manufactured homes to assure quality, durability, safety, and affordability. HUD standards may preempt state and local laws that do not conform to the HUD standards. OMHP enforces standards directly or through state agencies that have partnered with HUD, inspects factories and retailer lots, regulates installation standards for the homes, administers a dispute resolution program for defects, establishes and collects a fee for each home built, authorizes a certification label to be placed on each section of a home that meet the HUD standards, and pursues a civil or criminal action for violations of the Act. OMHP also oversees a Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (a federal advisory committee, composed of twenty-one producers, users, general interest and public officials to advise HUD), hires contractors to assist in program administration, and cooperates with other federal agencies such as DOE and EPA on crosscutting issues.

HUD's Manufactured Housing Program is a national program established to protect the health and safety of those that own and occupy manufactured homes through the enforcement of the federal manufactured home construction and safety standards, installation standards, and the administration of dispute resolution.

Construction and Safety Program

OMHP's Construction and Safety Program implements the standards and regulations that regulate the manufactured housing industry and provides homeowners with resources related to the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a manufactured home. The program also oversees the enforcement of the construction standards through third party inspection agencies and State agencies. HUD's manufactured housing programs also provide homeowners with a recourse to resolve complaints through State Administrative Agencies and HUD.

Manufactured Home Installation Program

HUD’s Manufactured Home Installation Program was established in 2008 to ensure that all states have minimum installation standards and operating installation programs in place for manufactured homes. For states where HUD administers the Manufactured Home Installation Program, HUD ensures that trainers of installers working in HUD-administered states are registered with HUD, and that installers of homes in HUD-administered states are licensed by HUD.

Questions regarding the program, regulations, or forms can be directed to mhsinstallation@hud.gov.

As of September 30, 2024, OMHP secured the services of Tribal One as its HUD manufactured housing installation contractor. For all inquiries, please contact Tribal One at:

Dispute Resolution Program

The Manufactured Home Dispute Resolution Program is available for use in providing the timely resolution of disputes between manufacturers, retailers and installers of manufactured homes regarding responsibility, and for the issuance of appropriate orders for the correction or repair of defects in manufactured homes. Defects in homes must be reported during the one-year period beginning on the date of installation to qualify for resolution under the Manufactured Home Dispute Resolution Program.

At the time of signing a contract for the sale or lease of a manufactured home, the purchaser must be provided with a manufacturer's dispute resolution notification located in the homeowners manual.

Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee

The Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) is a statutory Federal Advisory Committee body charged with providing recommendations to the Secretary on the revision and interpretation of HUD's manufactured home construction and safety standards and related procedural and enforcement regulations. By regulation, HUD includes the MHCC in the process of revising the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, Procedural and Enforcement Regulations, Model Installation Standards, Installation Program Regulations, and Dispute Resolution Program regulations.

For questions or comments concerning the MHCC, please contact Home Innovation Research Labs at 1-888-602-4663 or via email at mhcc@homeinnovation.com. You may also contact HUD's Office of Manufactured Housing Programs at (202) 708-6423 or email mhcc@hud.gov.
