Relating to the establishment of a down payment assistance grant program for veterans purchasing manufactured homes and the dedication of certain sales and use tax revenue to finance that program.

This bill would establish a down payment assistance program for Texas veterans purchasing new manufactured homes, funded by dedicated sales and use tax revenue. Eligible veterans (or surviving spouses if the veteran dies after applying) would receive grants covering part of their down payment, administered by the Texas Commission on Manufactured Housing. Veterans must occupy the home as their primary residence for three years, with limited exceptions for events like death, job loss, or home condemnation. The program ensures funds are used for affordable housing goals through strict occupancy rules and board oversight.
