How Can I Buy a Used FEMA Mobile Home?

Your ability to buy a used FEMA mobile home depends on the location and supply available. Most of the FEMA mobile homes used after the hurricanes in 2005 and 2006 have been sold already. However, FEMA uses mobile homes for housing people currently displaced by flooding and those will become available. When you buy a used FEMA mobile home, you avoid paying the price of a new home, but you will incur the cost of transporting it to your intended location.

      Browse the GSA auction site for available used FEMA trailers. GSA has a search by state process that helps you choose units within your geographic region. They typically have pictures and also advise the potential buyer to make an in-person inspection of the item to inform themselves of the true condition of the unit they want to buy.
