Mobile Homes Replacement Program

The Maine State Housing Authority, known as MaineHousing, recently closed a pilot project called the Pre-1976 Mobile Home Replacement Pilot. This program gave low-income mobile home owners low interest and no interest mortgages to replace their older homes with new ones. In order to qualify, people had to have income below a certain income level and live in a pre-1976 mobile home that was in bad shape.

The small pilot program only replaced about 20 mobile homes per year. Although the funding recently ran out, it is not gone for good. In fact, we expect a larger program that can help more families to start this summer. If you own a pre-1976 mobile home that is in poor condition, you may qualify for this program once it reopens.

MEJP will post information on its website when the new program becomes available. For updates on the program, you can also check MaineHousing’s website or call MaineHousing toll free at 1 (800) 452-4668.
