This notice will inform and seek public comment on changes that HUD is considering for the minimum payments that HUD distributes to states that participate in the Manufactured Housing Program as State Administrative Agencies (SAAs). HUD is considering two changes intended to achieve more equitable payments that more appropriately reflect state responsibilities and to incentivize continued and new state partnerships: First, HUD is considering payment to each SAA for its participation as partners in each of the various program elements. Second, HUD is considering a change in annual funding from minimum end of Fiscal Year lump sum payments to payments for each operational element at the end of each Fiscal Year, and a 10-year sunset provision for states to strategize and plan for this change. This notice will be published simultaneously with HUD’s final rule on Minimum Payments to States to the States (FR-5848) to request public comments on the proposed changes aimed at further streamlining and enhancing the minimum payment formula.
