Subtitle 
B—FHA 
Manufactured 
Housing Loan Insurance Mod-
ernization 
SECTION 251. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘FHA Manufactured 
Housing Loan Modernization Act of 2008’’. 
SEC. 252. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds that— 
(1) manufactured housing plays a vital role in 
providing housing for low- and moderate-income fam-
ilies in the United States; 
(2) the FHA title I insurance program for man-
ufactured home loans traditionally has been a major 
provider of mortgage insurance for home-only trans-
actions; 
(3) the manufactured housing market is in the 
midst of a prolonged downturn which has resulted in 
a severe contraction of traditional sources of private 
lending for manufactured home purchases; 
(4) during past downturns the FHA title I in-
surance program for manufactured homes has filled 
the lending void by providing stability until the pri-
vate markets could recover;
133 
(5) in 1992, during the manufactured housing 
industry’s last major recession, over 30,000 manufac-
tured home loans were insured under title I; 
(6) in 2006, fewer than 1,500 manufactured 
housing loans were insured under title I; 
(7) the loan limits for title I manufactured hous-
ing loans have not been adjusted for inflation since 
1992; and 
(8) these problems with the title I program have 
resulted in an atrophied market for manufactured 
housing loans, leaving American families who have 
the most difficulty achieving homeownership without 
adequate financing options for home-only manufac-
tured home purchases. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this subtitle are— 
(1) to provide adequate funding for FHA-insured 
manufactured housing loans for low- and moderate- 
income homebuyers during all economic cycles in the 
manufactured housing industry; 
(2) to modernize the FHA title I insurance pro-
gram for manufactured housing loans to enhance par-
ticipation by Ginnie Mae and the private lending 
markets; and 
(3) to adjust the low loan limits for title I man-
ufactured home loan insurance to reflect the increase
‘‘(B) make copies of the statistics sub-
mitted to the Secretary available to the public; 
and 
‘‘(C) in coordination with nationally recog-
nized fire organizations and representatives of 
institutions of higher education, identify exem-
plary fire safety policies, procedures, and prac-
tices and disseminate information concerning 
those policies, procedures, and practices that 
have proven effective in the reduction of cam-
pus fires. 
‘‘(5) RULE
OF
CONSTRUCTION.—Nothing in 
this subsection shall be construed to authorize the 
Secretary to require particular policies, procedures, 
or practices by institutions of higher education with 
respect to fire safety. 
‘‘(6) DEFINITIONS.—In this subsection, the 
term ‘campus’ has the meaning provided in sub-
section (f)(6).’’. 
SEC. 3. REPORT TO CONGRESS BY SECRETARY OF EDU-
CATION. 
Within two years after the date of enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Education shall prepare and submit 
to the Congress a report containing—
(1) an analysis of the current status of fire 
safety systems in college and university facilities, in-
cluding sprinkler systems; 
(2) an analysis of the appropriate fire safety 
standards to apply to these facilities, which the Sec-
retary shall prepare after consultation with such fire 
safety experts, representatives of institutions of 
higher education, and other Federal agencies as the 
Secretary, in the Secretary’s discretion, considers 
appropriate; 
(3) an estimate of the cost of bringing all non-
conforming student housing facilities up to current 
building codes; and 
(4) recommendations from the Secretary con-
cerning the best means of meeting fire safety stand-
ards in all college facilities, including recommenda-
tions for methods to fund such cost.
