Improving Housing Performance Act

The Improving Housing Performance Act directs the Department of Housing and Urban Development to conduct an independent study on how well manufactured homes withstand natural hazards like floods, wildfires, and hurricanes. This study will evaluate current safety standards and installation practices specifically for homes located in high-risk areas to identify ways to improve their durability and safety. The bill requires the department to submit a report to Congress with findings and recommendations for updating these standards, while also analyzing how such changes might affect the cost and affordability of manufactured homes. Additionally, the legislation mandates a strategy to improve data collection regarding how these homes perform during extreme weather events.
