Wisconsin DSPS Grant Offers Funding for Manufactured Home Repairs

$80,000 in funding available through rehabilitation program

Madison – Wisconsin Safety and Professional Services (DSPS) Secretary Dan Hereth announced his department will be opening applications for the Manufactured Housing Rehabilitation & Recycling (MHRR) Program grants on Monday, March 30.

“We’re excited the budget signed by Gov. Evers last year included continuation of this grant program, and we’re happy to make these funds available to improve conditions in Wisconsin’s manufactured home communities.” said Sec. Hereth.

The MHRR Program awards funding to non-profit organizations for environmentally sound disposal of abandoned manufactured homes and critical repairs to owner-occupied manufactured homes. The grant is funded through fees collected from the titling of manufactured homes.

DSPS will award up to $80,000 in MHRR funds. Homes repaired with MHRR funds must meet all applicable state and/or local codes, rehabilitation standards and ordinances, and zoning ordinances.

Applicants must have all materials submitted to DSPS by April 13. The department expects to announce the winner later in the Spring.
