Emily Thaden, ROC USA’s president, called the funding a transformative step. “This PRICE funding is a historic investment in preserving and improving manufactured home communities — America’s largest source of naturally affordable housing. ROCs will lead the way in stabilizing families’ most important asset, their homes, and ensuring long-term resilience, affordability, and sustainability,” Thaden said.
HUD’s Long-Term Vision
Transitioning manufactured housing communities to resident-managed models is a key goal of the PRICE program. The funding also seeks to prevent rent and fee increases while addressing the need for accessibility upgrades, infrastructure improvements, and community services.
