Summary

Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards Act or the Affordable HOMES Act

Under the bill, DOE may provide recommendations to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for revisions to energy conservation standards applicable to manufactured housing. These recommendations must comply with criteria established by the bill, including by being based on the determination of the cost-effectiveness of such revision.
