Applications Now Open for New Manufactured Home Parks Affordable Housing Pilot Program

The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) is accepting applications for the Manufactured Home Park Acquisition Pilot (MHPAP) Program, supporting efforts by manufactured home park residents and nonprofit organizations (501(c)(3)) to acquire manufactured home communities in Virginia. By facilitating resident or nonprofit ownership, the program aims to preserve affordable housing options and prevent the involuntary displacement of current residents.

Through the duration of the loan term, MHPAP promotes the long-term affordability of existing manufactured home units. Key objectives of the program include:

• Preserving affordable housing opportunities across the Commonwealth,
• Encouraging resident ownership and cooperative community management, and
• Leveraging local and state resources to support sustainable community development

Applications are available and will be accepted on a rolling basis as funding allows.
