Key parts of House Bill 193 we want you to know:
This bill changes the distribution of the $1.50 fee that homeowners were paying with their monthly lot rents.
Previous Distribution:
$1.00 allocated for the Relocation Trust Fund and $.50 allocated for an attorney fund to support manufactured homeowners. Community landowners matched each $1.00 for the relocation fund.
New Distribution:
The entire $1.50 fee will be directed to the Delaware Manufactured Home Owner Attorney fund effective January 1, 2026.
-
The Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI) currently holds the contract in Delaware to provide legal assistance to manufactured homeowners on leased land.
-
This will provide more money for CLASI so they can better support our homeowners when they need help.
