New state office to oversee manufactured homes

The law directs the Maine Office of Community Affairs to take over regulation of manufactured homes and communities. The office writes the bills to update state law and fix conflicts. It must seek HUD approval to serve as the state agency for federal manufactured housing standards. By January 1, 2027, the office submits the draft laws and a report to the Legislature.

Public and stakeholder input on manufactured homes

The office must meet with residents, park owners, builders, installers, and local officials. It also consults legislators and state housing agencies. The office must hold at least one public meeting and post notice on its website. These steps shape the bills that move oversight to the office.
