Manufactured (Mobile) Housing Program

The County's Board of Supervisors acknowledges that Manufactured Housing Communities (MHCs), often referred to as mobile home parks or communities, are a vital source of affordable housing in Fairfax County. The Manufactured Housing Program is tailored to address the specific needs of these communities. Based on recommendations from the Manufactured Housing Task Force, the program aims to safeguard the health and safety of individuals who own and live in MHCs. The county has seven existing MHCs, containing approximately 1,750 units, located in the following communities:

  • Audubon Estates, 700 housing units, Franconia District
  • Alexandria Mobile Home Park, 120 housing units, Mount Vernon District
  • Harmony Place Mobile Home Park, 91 housing units, Franconia District
  • Meadows of Chantilly, 490 housing units, Sully District
  • Penn Daw Terrance, 90 housing units, Mount Vernon District
  • Waples Mill Estates, 152 housing units, Braddock District
  • Woodley Hills Estates, 115 housing units, Mount Vernon District

Manufactured Housing Task Force Recommendations

On October 11th, 2022, the Board of Supervisors accepted the Fairfax County Manufactured Housing Task Force recommendations for the preservation of the county's approximately 1,750 manufactured homes, as well as tools and strategies to address the unique needs and challenges facing the community owners and families who live there.

Manufacturing Housing Resources

The following is a dynamic list of resources for manufactured housing residents, tenants, owners, and property managers. In 2021, the Board of Supervisors adopted the Public Trust and Confidentiality Policy (Trust Policy) to reaffirm that all residents including those who have immigrated to Fairfax County can access county benefits and services without fear that the information they share will be disclosed to federal immigration officials. For more information about the resources available for immigrants in the County, please click here.  Many of the resources listed below are provided by separate agencies, which are not under the Department of Housing and Community Development. Therefore, any additional questions should be directed to these agencies or organizations.

Proposed Manufactured Housing Relocation Guidelines

The Fairfax County Manufactured Housing Relocation Guidelines (MH Guidelines) are established to assist affected homeowners and renters of manufactured homes (residents) whose manufactured housing community (MHC) is redeveloped or converted to another use. The primary objective of the MH Guidelines is to ensure that displaced residents are provided sound communication and notification, as well as services and assistance, when relocating to affordable replacement housing. Such commitments not only advance the County’s objectives for housing stability but also help to address and mitigate the adverse effects of displacement. As drafted in the concurrent proposed Plan Amendment (PA-2022-00006) to the Housing Element of the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan Policy Plan, any redevelopment of an MHC should provide resident services and benefits as outlined in these MH Guidelines through the land use development review process.
