Foundation Systems
All manufactured home permanent
foundation systems must follow the FHA guidelines in effect at the time
of the certification. The guidelines include submission of a
certification from a licensed professional engineer, or registered
architect, who is licensed/registered in the state where the
manufactured home is located, attesting to compliance with the current
guidelines.
A copy of the foundation certification, showing
that the foundation meets the guidelines published in the PFGMH that

FHA loans, provided there are no alterations and/or observable damage to
the foundation.
