Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2023

H.R. 3327, the Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2023, aims to delay and modify the implementation of new energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes. The bill would prevent the Department of Energy from enforcing its 2022 energy conservation standards until the agency updates its requirements to better align with federal safety standards and ensures that the changes will not significantly increase the cost of purchasing a home. For citizens, this legislation is intended to keep manufactured housing—often the most affordable path to homeownership—at a lower price point by preventing immediate price hikes associated with new insulation and climate-control mandates.
