What is this program?
The OHCS Manufactured Housing team is continuing to accept new applications for its Manufactured Home Replacement Program through Oct. 31.

Benefits include:
Forgivable loans to purchase a new EnergyStar or NEEM 2.0 manufactured home
Up to $15,000 grant to dispose of current manufactured home
OHCS Energy Grant assistance for PGE and Pacific Power customers
Up to $100,000 to replace a single-wide home

Here is the link to the questionnaire that helps us initially screen eligibility
START HERE: Manufactured Home Replacement Incentive Screening Questionnaire
The steps to apply and reserve funding for our program are outlined below.
1. Questionnaire (linked above)
2. Consent Form to Check Utility Usage (MHR 671) This will be sent in an email once the questionnaire is filled out. This is giving us consent to check the utility usage of the current home. Our program requires that someone live there within the last year.
3. Incentive Reservation Form (620 MHR) This will come after we check utilities. This document lets you know that we are reserving your funds for up to a year. Extensions are granted if needed.
4. Incentive Commitment Letter Sent to Customer. This will come after being approved for the program.
5. Payment Request Form (MHR PR) These will be the final steps to accomplish.
o All invoices/bids/sales agreements associated with costs to projects including any lending/funding documents verifying amounts
Please let us know if you have any questions and when you are ready to get started, we are here to assist every step of the way with the process. Thank you for your interest in our program.

Why I Joined The Oregon State Tenants Association and more from The Board
Why I Joined the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA)
Some of you may know me from Manufactured Homeowners for Change, Oregon. After a lot of soul-searching, I’ve decided to join the Board of Directors for OSTA—and I want to share why.
Over the past year and a half, another tenant and I have made nearly 300 calls, meetings, and focus groups. We’ve sat down with staff from our Senators, Representatives, the Governor’s office, and organizations like CASA, AARP, and other advocates for affordable housing and senior rights.
In nearly every one of those meetings, OSTA came up.
People know OSTA, they trust OSTA, and they refer people to OSTA when it comes to protecting the rights of those living in manufactured and floating homes.
I realized:
This is OUR organization—whether we’re paying members or not.
OSTA is the only statewide group in Oregon focused specifically on us.
But here’s the hard truth:
Over the last year or so, OSTA has been run by just a few volunteers—people with full-time jobs, people managing serious health challenges—yet they continue showing up, answering calls, researching Oregon law, and doing their best to help.
Meanwhile, technical issues and mail delays have made it even harder to keep up. But the commitment is still there. We volunteer because we care.
And that’s where YOU come in.
Want to make a difference?
Good with tech? We need you.
Like talking to people? We need you.
Want to help grow membership or share flyers at your park? We need you.
Can’t volunteer? Your membership dues help us fight for your rights.
You may not think you need OSTA today… but the next legislative fight or issue with your park manager could change that.
If you’ve got ideas, solutions, or just the energy to help—step off the sidelines and into the game.
Let’s build something together.
Let’s protect our homes.
Let’s support OSTA.
