Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) was awarded $13.75 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) Main grant. This grant will fund the Manufactured Dwelling Park Preservation (MDPP) program to help manufactured housing residents stay in their homes at an affordable cost.
MDPP helps current manufactured parks stay affordable to residents by providing funding for resident co-ops and nonprofits to obtain park ownership when it goes up for sale and keep land rents affordable. CASA of Oregon, a leader in cooperative park ownership transitions, has identified at least eight parks in Oregon that currently meet program requirements and eligibility. This program helps residents who would be displaced due to large increases in housing costs from a market rate sale to stay in their homes at an affordable cost.
Manufactured housing serves as a key part of the solution to Oregon's affordable housing crisis. At a fraction of the average cost per square foot compared to site-built homes, manufactured housing is one of the largest sources of unsubsidized affordable housing in the country.
