Affordable HOMES Act
Ends federal energy efficiency rules for manufactured homes
Legislative Progress
263–147
Key Points
- Stops the Energy Department from setting or enforcing energy‑saving rules for new manufactured homes
- Cancels a 2022 rule that would have required better insulation and other upgrades to cut power and heating costs
- Could lower the upfront price of new manufactured homes, but may lead to higher monthly energy bills for owners and renters
- Likely means homes use more electricity or gas over time compared with stronger standards, adding to pollution
- Affects families who buy new manufactured homes and the builders who make them; other existing building rules stay the same
