Improving Housing Performance Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to commission an independent study, within 90 days, on how well manufactured homes built to federal standards hold up in areas at high risk of floods, wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, and extreme heat. The study would recommend changes to federal manufactured home construction and installation standards and look at how such changes would affect costs. Within 180 days, the Secretary would have to send a report to the House and Senate housing and financial committees and post it permanently on the department's website. The report would include findings, recommended legal or regulatory changes, a cost and affordability analysis, and a plan for better data collection on home performance during disasters.
