A connector for a brace and a vertical post in a foundation for a manufactured building having support beams, the connector having a base and two opposing walls that each define an opening, a vertical support assembly having a plate that defines an opening and a tubular sleeve coaxial with an opening, which sleeve is coaxial with the openings in the walls when the plate is disposed on the base, and a threaded member extending from the tubular sleeve for engaging the vertical post. A fastener extends through the opening in one of the side walls, through the sleeve, through openings in a lower end of the brace, and through the opening in the opposing side wall, whereby the brace pivotably attaches to the base and the support assembly orients the threaded member vertically to support the vertical post. The connector used in a foundation for a manufactured building for connecting a brace and a vertical post to the manufactured building.
