At the appropriate place in title II of division D, insert the following:
Sec. 2__. It is the sense of Congress that--
(1) more than 17,000,000 people live in manufactured homes and benefit from high-quality affordable homes which provide stability;
(2) owners of manufactured homes have disproportionately low-income households, and in 2013, the median annual household income for living in manufactured housing was
$28,400;
(3) approximately 75 percent of manufactured home households earn less than $50,000 per year;
(4) more than 10 percent of veterans in the United States live in manufactured homes;
(5) in late 1990, manufactured housing represented \2/3\ of the new affordable housing produced in the United States and remains a significant source of unsubsidized affordable housing in the United States;
(6) in 2015, the average cost per square foot for a new manufactured home was 48 dollars, less than half of the cost per square foot for a new-site built, structure-only home, which was $101;
(7) in 2009, 43 percent of all new homes that sold for less than $150,000 were manufactured homes;
(8) manufactured homes account for 23 percent of new home sales under $200,000;
(9) more than 50,000 manufactured home communities, also referred to as ``mobile home parks'', exist throughout the United States;
(10) more than 2,900,000 manufactured homes are placed in manufactured home communities;
(11) manufactured home communities provide critical affordable housing, but receive very little Federal, State, or local funds to subsidize the cost of manufactured homes;
(12) manufactured home owners in such communities may own the home, but they do not own the land under the home, which leaves the home owners vulnerable to rent increases, arbitrary rule enforcement, and in the case of a manufactured home community owner converting the land to some other use, community closure;
(13) an eviction or closure of a manufactured home community is very disruptive to a resident who may be unable to pay the thousands of dollars it takes to move the manufactured home or find a new location for the manufactured home;
(14) in an effort to preserve a crucial source of affordable housing within the past two decades, a national network of housing providers has helped residents purchase and own the land under the manufactured home community, and manage the manufactured home community;
(15) nationwide, there are more than 1,000 stable, permanent ownership cooperatives or nonprofit-owned developments in more than a dozen States;
(16) members of manufactured home communities continue to own such homes individually, own an equal share of the land beneath the entire manufactured home community, participate in the governing of the community, and elect a board of directors who make major decisions within the manufactured home community by a democratic vote;
(17) in New Hampshire, more than 30 percent of manufactured home communities are owned by residents;
(18) resident-owned cooperatives and nonprofit owned communities have also flourished in Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Washington, Oregon, and Minnesota;
(19) nationwide, only 2 percent of all manufactured home communities are resident or nonprofit-owned;
(20) when the owner of a manufactured home community or his or her heirs sell the community to the highest bidder, it can result in displacement for dozens and sometimes hundreds of families; and
(21) Congress should endeavor to protect residents of manufactured home communities by encouraging the owners of those properties to sell them to nonprofit organizations or to the residents themselves to own cooperatively.
