This $19.7 million federal award will support affordable and safe manufactured homes to help more families have a safe, decent place to live.” “Manufactured housing plays a significant role in making the cost of a home less expensive throughout Oregon,” Wyden said. “That’s what makes this federal investment such a welcome development in the battle to keep designing an affordability housing blueprint statewide for communities and Tribes. I’m glad these resources have been secured, and will keep working to build out similar housing opportunities for Oregonians in every nook and cranny of our state.” The funding comes from HUD’s Office of Community Planning and Development, which is awarding Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative for Community Enhancement (PRICE) grants, to preserve long-term housing affordability for residents of manufactured housing and manufactured housing communities (MHCs), to redevelop MHCs, and to primarily benefit low- and moderate-income residents. PRICE grants support manufactured housing across America— providing a home to over 22 million Americans and helping to solve our nation’s housing affordability crisis. The PRICE grants awarded to Oregon are as follows: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:07:19Z |
