Manufactured/Mobile Home Relocation Assistance and Relocation Coordination offered by Washington State Department of Commerce

Manufactured/Mobile Home Relocation Assistance and Relocation Coordination offered by Washington State Department of Commerce

Provides relocation assistance for manufactured/mobile home owners who must relocate due to community closure or community conversion to another use. The programs were established through state laws that allow household support through the closure process and a combination of cash assistance for eligible homeowners and reimbursement of actual demolition and disposal costs for community owners. Eligible tenants may receive cash assistance up to $11,000 for a single-section home or up to $17,000 for a multi-section home. Cash assistance is provided in two payments: the first when a household is determined eligible, the second when a household either signs over title of their home to the community owner or upon removal of their home from the community. Community owners may seek reimbursement from the Relocation Assistance Program for allowable demolition and disposal costs associated with eligible households. Community owners may request up to $5,500 for a single-section home and up to $8,500 for a multi-section home. Manufactured/Mobile Home Relocation Assistance Program and Relocation Coordination Program Managers work with resident homeowners in closing manufactured/mobile home communities to help them with the application and financial assistance processes as well as housing transition.
