• CHAPTER 8. MOBILE HOMES 110. GENERAL. This chapter describes the policies and procedures for moving and related ex- penses and for replacement housing payments to those relocated from mobile homes as a result of displacement by development under an ADAP/ FAAP project. 111. GENERAL ELIGIBILITY REQUIRE- MENTS. a. Federal Participation —Real Property. The cost of acquiring a mobile home when it is con- sidered real property under State law is an eligible cost under ADAP/FAAP. b. Federal Participation —Personal Property Ac- quired. The cost of acquiring a mobile home when it is considered personal property under State law will be an eligible cost under ADAP/FAAP under the following conditions: (1) The structural condition of the mobile home is such that it cannot be moved without sub- stantial damage or unreasonable cost. (2) The mobile home is not considered to be decent, safe, and sanitary when measured against the same standards as those for con- ventional housing, except that the space re- quirements are reduced to a minimum of 150 square feet of habitable floor space for the first occupant and a minimum of 70 square feet of habitable floor space for each addi- tional occupant and that one means of egress is acceptable. c. Partial Acquisition of Mobile Home Park. Where the Sponsor determines that a sufficient por- tion of a mobile home park is taken to justify the operator of such park to move his business or go out of business, the owners and occupants of the mobile home dwellings not within the actual taking, but who are forced to move, would be eligible to receive the same payments as though their dwellings were within the actual taking. d. Mobile Home as Replacement Dwellings. A mobile home may be considered a replacement dwelling provided it substantially meets the appli- cable standards for decent, safe and sanitary dwell- ings as defined in paragraph 5c. e. Computation on Next Highest Type. When a comparable mobile home is not available, it will be necessary to calculate the replacement housing payment on the basis of the next highest type of dwelling that is available and meets the applicable requirements and standards, i.e., a higher type mobile home or a conventional dwelling. f. Mobile Home Park Entrance Fees. If a mo- bile home park entrance fee is required to relocate a mobile home, the fee is to be considered in the computation of a rental replacement housing pay- ment when: (1) The park with the entrance fee is the only comparable park available; and (2) The fee is not returnable to the tenant such as a security deposit would be. 112.
