Van Milligen, City Manager FROM: Alexis M. Steger, Housing and Community Development Director SUBJECT: Manufactured Homes — Inclusion in City Rehabilitation Programs DATE: March 23, 2022 Backqround The City of Dubuque provides up to $25,000 in 0% interest loans to low-moderate income homeowners to rehabilitate their home. These rehabilitations help correct code violations, and replace old mechanical systems, roofs, plumbing, electrical, flooring, cabinets or other such needs within the home. The homeowner rehabilitation program is funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funding, received by the City through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). This program is not currently available to those living in manufactured homes, commonly known as mobile homes. Discussion The City of Dubuque has over 1,000 manufactured homes placed on private lots that are specifically situated to house manufactured homes (mobile home parks). The city also has manufactured homes on smaller parcels that are not as commonly known as a "mobile home park". Manufactured homeowners can own the lot that the manufactured home is anchored to, or the lot can be rented. Manufactured homes can also be rented. Most commonly in Dubuque, the Manufactured home is "owned" by the person living in the structure and the lot is rented. Manufactured homes were not able to be assisted by CDBG funding until 2016 when federal regulations changed to allow manufactured homes to be assisted if they were considered part of the "permanent housing stock" in the city in which they are located. The rules and regulations for serving manufactured homes were not released until 2018 and have continued to be vague and difficult to navigate. The city has received applications from manufactured homeowners that need help renovating their home, and unfortunately are unable to be assisted. The Housing and Community Development Department has been looking at ways to be able to serve these residents. The following steps/activities need to take place, or be explored further, to be able to include manufactured homes in the homeowner rehabilitation program: 1. Manufactured Homes must be included in the definition of permanent housing stock for the City of Dubuque. 2. City, State and Federal Codes that govern the building and maintenance of manufactured homes must be reconciled with the CDBG rules and regulations 3. Inspectors and other City Staff must be trained in manufactured home building and maintenance codes. 4. Program documents need to be updated to reflect changes Permanent Housing Stock The City Council can pass an ordinance that includes manufactured homes in the definition of permanent housing stock. This definition will need to be specific in which situation a manufactured home can be included in the definition. This can get complicated quickly. "Mobile Home Parks" in the City of Dubuque are one large parcel of land that houses 200-300 manufactured homes. The number of mobile homes is not tracked or monitored by the City of Dubuque, as it does not affect the parcel or tax assessment for the property. This means that number of manufactured homes can fluctuate without notice and would be hard to track as units in the City of Dubuque. To be considered manufactured homes, the federal laws require specific tie downs, footings, removal of tow capabilities, and specific connections to utilities. All of these are controlled by Federal Law and enforced by the State. It is rare that a manufactured home is inspected as required to determine eligibility as a manufactured home due to State Inspector capacity. This determination is often made only by insurance companies that do not have the ability to record the qualification on any accessible database. The less difficult piece of this step is the decision on if the manufactured home is part of the permanent housing stock if it is on rented land. City staff is working on how to reconcile a manufactured home definition with the ability to include them in the permanent housing stock for the City of Dubuque. Building and Mainfenance Codes Manufactured homes have their own set of building and maintenance codes that are separate from other residential structures. The City of Dubuque specifically excludes the adoption of international building codes that include manufactured home building and maintenance. This is because the State of lowa and the Federal Government require the State to inspect and control the building and maintenance of manufactured homes. Due to this, the City of Dubuque does not train inspectors on these unique codes, because the State must enforce them. The Federal Government also restricts the building and maintenance codes that States can use for manufactured homes. This is called the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (HUD Code) and a red certification label is placed on all newly constructed manufactured homes once certified as meeting the code by HUD. This process has been in place since June of 1976. Any manufactured home built prior to this date is unable to receive this certification label, even if rehabilitated to meet code. CDBG rules and regulations require any funds use for rehabilitation must ensure that the home rehabilitated meets housing quality standards (HQS). HQS is set by the Section 8 provisions of the Federal Code, not the Federal Code that controls CDBG funding. Due to the City of Dubuque having programs funded under Section 8 of the Federal Code, the City has adopted the use of Property Maintenance Codes as our Housing Quality Standards. This is to ensure the uniform use of property maintenance codes across all rental units. Unfortunately, the property maintenance codes adopted by the City of Dubuque do not include any manufactured home maintenance codes, as by law it cannot be included. This makes it impossible for a manufactured home to meet HQS per CDBG requirements in the City of Dubuque. The lowa Legislature is currently considering the passage of a bill that will require the City of Dubuque to utilize lowa State Building Codes. The passage of this bill will change the relationship of building and maintenance codes with manufactured home building and maintenance codes. This is being studied by City Staff and will be an on- going project. Training City Staff If the reconciliation of codes can be accomplished, City staff will need to be trained on the maintenance codes for manufactured homes. This would include training for inspectors and CDBG administrative staff. This is at least a six-month task and would need to be completed in conjunction with the State Inspectors Office. If the State Legislature passes the bill that will require the use of State Building Codes by the City of Dubuque, the focus for training will be pulled to learning those codes and being able to continue to allow building in the city without interruption. This is a larger task than has ever been undertaken by the City of Dubuque inspectors and is at least a 12-month project that would derail/delay any time allocated to training on manufactured home codes. Program Documents Should all the previous actions and steps be complete, program documents, applications, and eligibility determination processes will need to be updated to include manufactured homes in the homeowner rehabilitation program. Determination processes will need to include the City Attorney review of what would constitute a mortgage versus a rental agreement, as they are unique and not clearly delineated when purchasing a manufactured home. Without any major legal issues found in the research process for this, this process would take 30-60 days to complete.
