Mobilehome parks: enforcement: violations.

Existing law, the Mobilehome Parks Act, establishes requirements for the construction, maintenance, occupancy, use, and design of mobilehome parks. Existing law provides for the enforcement of the act by the Department of Housing and Community Development and by every city, county, or city and county, collectively known as enforcement agencies. Existing law requires an enforcement agency, after conducting an inspection and determining that a violation exists, to issue a notice to correct the violation to the registered owner or occupant, as specified. Existing law requires the department to develop a list of local agencies that have home rehabilitation or repair programs for which registered owners or occupants of manufactured homes and mobilehomes may be eligible, and requires that list to be provided to a registered owner or occupant who receives a notice of violation. This bill would require the department, subject to appropriation by the Legislature for those purposes, to provide grants or other funding mechanisms to registered owners or occupants of mobilehomes or manufactured homes who are unable to afford the repair of their homes as required by the enforcement agency. The bill would establish the Mobilehome Repair Grant Fund in the State Treasury, to be available to the department upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purposes specified above. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations relating to manufactured housing.
