•	For a multi-section home:  the actual costs of moving up to $12,500. 
Applications for benefits must be submitted to the Neutral Third Party appointed to oversee the closure of the park, the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency, and provide a copy to the park owner.  The Neutral Third Party must process each application within 14 days of receipt from the homeowner.

If the moving company has not received payment from Minnesota Housing in the past, they will need to send in a W-9 to be set up as a vendor in the accounting system.  Minnesota Housing will issue payments within five business days of receiving the invoice and all application materials listed on this form.
Movers will be paid 50% up front and 50% after the home has been moved.  The homeowner will need to sign a statement certifying that the home has been moved. The Neutral Third Party must submit the homeowner statement and an invoice for the second payment to be sent.
Approved applications should be submitted by the Neutral Third Party promptly to Minnesota Housing. Applications that are not processed by the Neutral Third Party within 45 days of receipt from the homeowner are deemed approved and should be sent to Minnesota Housing for processing.
