What this bill would do
The Housing Supply Expansion Act of 2025 updates the definition of a manufactured home to include those without a permanent chassis. It requires States to submit initial and annual certifications to the Secretary to ensure their laws treat these homes with parity regarding financing, title, insurance, and other areas. States must also amend their laws and regulations to match this updated definition. If a State fails to submit the required certifications, it must prohibit the manufacture, installation, or sale of "covered manufactured homes." This bill also allows the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to coordinate with other Federal agencies regarding these updated definitions.

Potential Positive Impacts for People

Parity for different home types: Under Section 2(a) and 2(b), manufactured homes without a permanent chassis would be treated with parity to those with a permanent chassis. This applies to several key areas including financing, title, insurance, manufacture, sale, taxes, and installation.
-
Federal coordination: Section 2(c) allows the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to coordinate with other Federal agencies to ensure they treat manufactured homes under the updated definition in the same manner.
-
State Support: Section 2(d) adds a provision for model guidance to help States submit the required certifications.
Potential Negative Impacts for People

Prohibitions due to state inaction: Under Section 2(b)(5)(B), if a State fails to submit the required initial or annual certifications, that State must prohibit the manufacture, installation, or sale of a "covered manufactured home." A "covered manufactured home" is defined as one constructed without a permanent chassis that is otherwise considered a manufactured home.
-
State Regulatory Burdens: Section 2(b)(2) requires States to take steps to ensure the veracity of their certification, which may include amending the definition of "manufactured home" in State laws and regulations or directing State agencies to amend their regulations.
