Own the Land Under a Dilapidated Manufactured Home? NY May Fund a Replacement
New York's Mobile and Manufactured Home Replacement program funds local organizations to replace qualifying dilapidated mobile or manufactured homes with a new manufactured, modular or site-built home.
Who
Low- and moderate-income homeowners whose dilapidated mobile or manufactured home is their residence and is located on land they own, subject to the local funded program's screening rules.
Where: New York State where a funded local administrator operates.
What to do
Start here: Check HCR's grants-through-local-partners listings or contact a local housing nonprofit/municipality and ask whether it currently administers Mobile and Manufactured Home Replacement funds.
Eligibility: The existing home must be a qualifying mobile/manufactured home on land owned by the homeowner, with income and project eligibility confirmed by the local administrator.
What you get
HCR awards program funds to local administrators for removal and replacement of deteriorated mobile/manufactured homes and related eligible project costs.
Benefit: Potential assistance toward demolition/removal, replacement-home costs and eligible related work through a funded local program.
Possible value: Potentially a major home-replacement subsidy, but household assistance is project-specific and constrained by local grant awards; there is no universal direct-to-owner amount.
Good to know
Important: This is not a direct statewide application to HCR. HCR funds local governments and nonprofits through competitive rounds, so there may be no active administrator in a particular county at a given time.
Availability: Active state program; household access depends on current local awards and funds.
Why people miss it: The program is marketed and administered as a grant to local organizations rather than as a direct homeowner benefit.
