Bill 118 hr 3327, also known as the Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2023, aims to address the issues of affordability and energy efficiency in the manufactured housing industry. The bill seeks to provide financial assistance to low-income individuals and families who are looking to purchase or upgrade a manufactured home.
