Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

collection of information implements 

changes to the admission and 

occupancy requirements for the public 

housing and section 8 assisted housing 

programs made by the Quality Housing 

and Work Responsibility (QHWRA) Act 

1998 (Title V of the FY 1999 HUD 

appropriations Act, Public Law 105– 

276, 112 Stat. 2518, approved October

QHWRA) affect public housing only and 

others affect both the section 8 tenantbased and project-based and public 

housing programs. These changes cover 

choice of rent, community service and 

self-sufficiency in public housing; and 

admission preferences and 

determination of income and rent in 

public housing and section 8 housing 

assistance programs.

I. Abstract 

The Survey of Manufactured (Mobile) 

Home Placements collects data on the 

characteristics of newly manufactured 

homes placed for residential use 

including number, sales price, location, 

and other selected characteristics. HUD 

uses the statistics to respond to a 

Congressional mandate in the Housing 

and Community Development Act of 

1980, 42 U.S.C. 5424 note, which 

requires HUD to collect and report 

manufactured home sales and price 

information for the nation, census 

regions, states, and selected 

metropolitan areas and to monitor 

whether new manufactured homes are 

being placed on owned rather than 

rented lots. HUD also used these data to 

monitor total housing production and 

its affordability. 

Furthermore, the Survey of 

Manufactured (Mobile) Home 

Placements serves as the basis for HUD’s 

mandated indexing of loan limits. 

Section 2145 (b) of the Housing and 

Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 

requires HUD to develop a method of 

indexing to annually adjust Title I 

manufactured home loan limits. This 

index is based on manufactured housing 

price data collected by this survey. 

Section 2145 of the HERA of 2008 also 

amends the maximum loan limits for 

manufactured home loans insured 

under Title I. HUD implemented the 

revised loan limits, as shown below, for 

all manufactured home loans for which 

applications are received on or after 

March 3, 2009.

II. Method of Collection 

The methodology for collecting 

information on new manufactured 

homes involves contacting a monthly 

sample of new manufactured homes 

shipped by manufacturers. The units are 

sampled from lists obtained from the 

Institute for Building Technology and 

Safety. Dealers that take shipment of the 

selected homes are mailed a survey form 

for recording the status of the 

manufactured home. Each successive 

month, the dealer is contacted by 

telephone and provides updated status 

information about the home. Contact 

continues until the selected home is 

placed.
