CapeGazetteVillageSoup informs MHProNews a Delaware state initiative to help manufactured home owners with site rent and house payments will be unveiled April 15, according to Rep. Ruth Briggs King. The new Manufactured Housing Assistance Program (MHAP) will provide up to $5,000 as the result of state funding being set aside during the last budget cycle. As a member of the Joint Finance Committee, King says this measure, which she helped support, will allow manufactured home owners to remain in their homes. As we reported here Nov. 2, 2012, King defeated MHC resident Beth McGinn in last Nov.’s statehouse race.
