Summary of SB 939 (Michigan) – 2025-2026 Session

Overview

  • Bill: Senate Bill 939
  • Jurisdiction: Michigan
  • Topic: Housing; authority to administer the resident ownership revolving fund created in the mobile home commission act; tie bar with SB 934
  • Primary purpose: Amend provisions related to the State housing development authority (SHDA) to explicitly include administration of the resident ownership revolving fund established under the mobile home commission act, and to coordinate housing-related powers with the mobile home program.

Note: The bill includes an enactment condition tying its effectiveness to the passage of SB 934.

Key Provisions and Changes

  • Authority and Powers (Section 22 amendments): SB 939 largely preserves and reiterates the broad list of powers held by the State housing development authority (SHDA), including the ability to:

    • sue and be sued, enter contracts, hire staff, set rules/bylaws.
    • conduct housing needs analyses, share data publicly, and engage in research on housing.
    • accept and administer federal, state, and local funding; engage with private lenders; issue and manage bonds; purchase, finance, or rehabilitate housing; foreclose on mortgages; service loans; and invest funds.
    • regulate housing standards for projects financed by the authority; set rental charges; and impose covenants running with land to meet federal/state requirements.
    • work with nonprofit housing corporations, consumer housing cooperatives, limited dividend housing corporations, and mobile home-related entities; appoint certain directors; regulate management of joint ventures; and regulate the disposition of property and franchises of these entities.
    • participate in federal housing programs and ensure compliance with applicable federal laws and tax-exemption requirements for bonds.
    • adopt ethics rules, require disclosures, and manage conflicts of interest.
    • manage environmental and land-use restrictions tied to federal/state housing programs.

  • Resident Ownership Revolving Fund (Section 22(zz) and related): The bill explicitly adds authority to administer the resident ownership revolving fund created under Section 16d of the Mobile Home Commission Act (1987 PA 96, MCL 125.2316d). This expands SHDA’s responsibilities to oversee funds intended to support resident ownership arrangements within mobile home communities.

  • Mobile Home Collaboration (Section 22(j) and related): Standards for housing projects that receive SHDA loans involving mobile homes, mobile home parks, and mobile home condo projects are to be established jointly by the SHDA and the Mobile Home Commission. Financing standards remain the sole purview of the SHDA.

  • Tie Bar (Enacting Section): The act’s effectiveness is contingent on the enactment of SB 934 from the 103rd Legislature. If SB 934 is not enacted, SB 939 does not take effect.

Who Is Affected

  • SHDA and Its Programs: The authority and its staff gain explicit duty to administer the resident ownership revolving fund, in addition to existing powers.
  • Mobile Home Residents and Owners: Residents in mobile home communities could benefit from enhanced resident ownership opportunities and related financing support, administered through the revolving fund.
  • Mobile Home Commissions and Corporations: Coordination between SHDA and the Mobile Home Commission on project standards and governance of mobile-home-related housing initiatives.
  • Lenders, Nonprofit Housing Entities, and Cooperatives: Maintains existing relationships and oversight, with potential new opportunities through the revolving fund and standardized joint processes.

Procedural and Timeline Aspects

  • Effective Date Contingent on SB 934: SB 939’s effect is conditioned on SB 934 becoming law.
  • Committee Path: Introduced and referred to Regulatory Affairs; reassigned to Housing and Human Services Committee. Schedule may affect timing for hearings and potential amendments.
  • Status Indicator: As of the current action history, the bill is in early committee stages (introduced April 29, 2026).

Additional Observations

  • The bill largely codifies and expands the SHDA’s existing toolkit and governance role, with a specific operational addition to oversee the resident ownership revolving fund linked to mobile home communities.
  • The tie-bar mechanism means impact is interdependent with SB 934; stakeholders should monitor both bills for final enacted language and funding implications.
