36 CFR Part 1191 ADA and ABA Accessibility Guidelines for Emergency Transportable Housing Units
106.5 Defined Terms
F106.5 Defined Terms
The final rule adds a definition to these sections for the term “emergency transportable housing unit.” The term is defined to mean a single or multiple section prefabricated structure that is transportable on a single transport vehicle and that can be set-up and installed on a temporary site in response to an emergency need for temporary housing. The definition lists travel trailers, park models, manufactured housing, and other factory built housing among the structures covered by the definition. Modular homes that are transportable on multiple vehicles and are joined together on a site are not covered by the definition. The definition considers emergency transportable housing units as a type of residential dwelling unit for the purposes of the guidelines.
