Mobile Manufactured Home Loan Program

Connecticut residents interested in purchasing a mobile home should consider CHFA’s Mobile Manufactured Home Loan financing. The program’s low-interest rate and low closing costs can help homebuyers finance a single or double-wide manufactured home in a Connecticut state-licensed mobile park.  Applicants must meet Eligibility Requirements below to apply for a loan.  Due to a limited amount of funding for this program, approval depends on the availability of funding.

  Eligibility Requirements

  • Prior homeowners are eligible to apply but they cannot own any other property, including second homes, investment or commercial, at the time of closing on the CHFA first mortgage loan for purchase of the mobile manufactured home. 
  • The mobile home must be your primary residence. Investment or vacation properties are not allowed.
  • The sales price of the mobile home must be within the CHFA Sales Price Limits, and your gross income must be within the CHFA Income Limits.

  Property Guidelines
