This document provides the programmatic standards, requirements and best practices for the Preserved Manufactured Housing Parks – Disaster Recovery (PMHP-DR) program. The intended users of this document include Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) staff, park owners (nonprofit, housing authority or resident cooperatives) and community action agencies (CAAs) responsible for their respective initial lease-up activities. Upon completion of initial lease-up, park owners are responsible for ongoing management of the park.
The guidelines include fundamental direction for screening applicants and connecting them with an installed MHU in a PMHP-DR project during initial lease-up, as well as guidance for ongoing management of the preserved park. Park owners and CAAs working together will have some flexibility to carry out activities that meet their unique needs, within the parameters of these guidelines. These guidelines only apply to PMHP-DR projects that have been redeveloped with OHCS support
These guidelines are divided into two sections. Section I covers eligibility requirements and the screening process for initial lease-up and is intended to be used by the CAA conducting eligibility determinations in collaboration with the park owner. Section II covers guidance for ongoing park operations and responsibilities expected of park owners.
