The Michigan Manufactured Housing Association (MMHA) is often asked this question: Can I place a manufactured home onto a basement?
The answer, in short: yes!
Basements not only provide a strong structural support system for manufactured homes, but they add extra storage space that can be turned into bedrooms, game rooms or even a storage space for outdoor equipment.
Manufactured homes can be placed within land-lease communities and on private property. If you’re interested in placing a home on a basement or crawl space, look to private property placement. Typically, in land-lease communities, basements are not allowed as they are not standard features of a home.
In order to place a manufactured home onto a basement, the home will need to be customized. To search for manufactured home retailers for private land, click here.
