Subdivision 1.Establishment. The agency shall establish a manufactured home park redevelopment program for the purpose of making manufactured home park redevelopment grants or loans for the purposes specified in this section. Subd. 1a.Individual assistance grants. Eligible recipients may use individual assistance grants and loans under this program to: (1) provide current residents of manufactured home parks with buy-out assistance not to exceed $4,000 per home with preference given to older manufactured homes; and (2) provide down-payment assistance for the purchase of new and preowned manufactured homes that comply with the current version of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development's Manufactured Housing Code in effect at the time of the sale, not to exceed $10,000 per home. Subd. 1b.Manufactured home park infrastructure grants and loans. Eligible recipients may use manufactured home park infrastructure grants and loans under this program for: (1) acquisition of and improvements in manufactured home parks; and (2) infrastructure, including storm shelters and community facilities. Subd. 2.Eligibility requirements. For individual assistance grants under subdivision 1a, households assisted must have an annual household income at or below 80 percent of the area median household income. Cities, counties, or community action programs receiving funds under the program must give preference to households at or below 50 percent of the area median household income. Participation in the program is voluntary and no park resident shall be required to participate. Subd. 3.Statewide program. The agency shall attempt to make grants and loans in approximately equal amounts to applicants outside and within the metropolitan area. Grants and loans under this section shall be provided in a manner consistent with the agency's policies and purposes in section 462A.02. Subd. 4.Infrastructure repair and replacement fund. Each recipient receiving a grant under subdivision 1b shall provide from year to year, on a cumulative basis, for adequate reserve funds to cover the repair and replacement of the private infrastructure systems serving the community.
Under Minn. Stat. § 462A.2035, Minnesota's housing agency is directed to run a manufactured home park redevelopment program that offers both grants and loans. The program has two main tracks: individual assistance (such as buy-out help up to $4,000 per home and down-payment assistance up to $10,000 per home) and infrastructure support for park acquisition, improvements, storm shelters, and community facilities. Income limits apply to individual assistance, participation is voluntary, and the agency aims to distribute funding roughly equally between metro and non-metro areas.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and operators of manufactured home parks should be aware that Minn. Stat. § 462A.2035 creates a state-administered grant and loan program that can fund park acquisition, infrastructure upgrades, storm shelters, and community facilities. Operators who receive infrastructure grants under subdivision 1b are expected to maintain cumulative reserve funds year over year to cover future repair and replacement of private infrastructure systems. Compliant recipients generally document their reserve fund practices and ensure that any individual assistance distributed to residents meets the income-eligibility requirements set out in subdivision 2.

Minn. Stat. § 462A.2035 establishes a voluntary program that may provide eligible manufactured home park residents with buy-out assistance or down-payment help when relocating or purchasing a home, subject to household income limits tied to area median income. Residents whose household income is at or below 80 percent of area median income may qualify for individual assistance, with priority given to those at or below 50 percent. Tenants interested in learning whether this program is available in their area can contact their local city or county housing office, a community action program, or a tenant-rights organization for general information about how funds are distributed under this provision.
