HUD HCV Guidebook § 7.1
Occupancy (HUD HCV Guidebook)
Operative Text
There are no program restrictions on who may occupy a manufactured home. 47 24 CFR § 982.619(b)
Under HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 7.1, which references 24 CFR § 982.619(b), the Housing Choice Voucher program does not impose any program-level restrictions on which individuals or household compositions may occupy a manufactured home. This means that eligibility and occupancy decisions for manufactured homes under the voucher program are not limited by any special category rules tied to the dwelling type itself. Other generally applicable program rules—such as household composition requirements and income limits—still apply, but none are specific to manufactured homes as a housing type.

Property owners and managers who rent manufactured homes under the Housing Choice Voucher program should be aware that, per HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 7.1 and 24 CFR § 982.619(b), no program-specific occupancy restrictions apply to this housing type. Compliant operators generally apply the same standard voucher program requirements to manufactured home tenancies as they would to any other assisted unit. Operators typically ensure their practices align with all other applicable fair housing and program rules, since the absence of manufactured-home-specific restrictions does not override broader requirements.

Tenants using a Housing Choice Voucher to rent a manufactured home can look to HUD Housing Choice Voucher Guidebook § 7.1 and 24 CFR § 982.619(b) for confirmation that the program places no special occupancy restrictions on who may live in that type of home. This means a voucher holder generally cannot be denied occupancy in a manufactured home on the basis of a program rule unique to that dwelling type. Tenants who believe they have been improperly restricted may consider contacting their local Public Housing Authority or a tenant-rights organization for information about their options.
