What this bill would do
The PRICE Act seeks to establish a competitive grant program aimed at the development and improvement of manufactured housing communities. The program focuses on communities that are affordable to low- and moderate-income persons. Eligible recipients can use grant funds for various purposes, including infrastructure, housing reconstruction, and resident services. These projects can address health, safety, accessibility, and weatherization needs. The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will oversee the administration of these funds. Additionally, the bill allows for the prioritization of applicants who preserve long-term housing affordability.
