What are the costs for staying in a manufactured housing?
Occupants of FEMA-provided manufactured housing are responsible for utilities, such as electricity, telephone and cable TV. Occupants are assigned units on a month-to-month basis, for up to 18 months from the date of the disaster declaration, while they repair their homes or search for permanent housing. To remain eligible, occupants must develop a housing plan and be making progress toward achieving permanent housing; this plan is reviewed monthly by an Individual Assistance case worker. Manufactured housing is provided separate from funds under FEMA’s Individuals and Households program. That means a person living in manufactured housing could still receive up to the maximum amount of assistance from FEMA for repairing their damaged home or to fund replacement of a home that was destroyed.
