Bill > SB499

This bill provides $5 million in state funding specifically dedicated to replacing older manufactured homes (mobile homes built before 1980) in three southwestern Oregon counties: Coos, Curry, and Douglas. The money will be appropriated from the General Fund to the Housing and Community Services Department, which will deposit the funds into the Manufactured Home Preservation Fund. These funds will be used to provide loans to homeowners for replacing outdated manufactured dwellings through an existing loan program authorized under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 458.356. The bill emphasizes that this $5 million appropriation is in addition to any other existing funding sources, and will be allocated for the two-year budget period beginning July 1, 2025. By targeting homes built before 1980, the bill aims to help replace older, potentially less safe or energy-efficient manufactured homes in this specific region of southwestern Oregon.
