various functional divisions of the unit.

repairs from the employee needed for damage beyond normal wear and
tear.

receive the same benefits as if he were living in state supplied

to live on the premises may be authorized by the Secretary, or his or her
designee, to place their mobile home on the unit on a space available basis. No
charge shall be made for the space.
