The Largest Form of Unsubsidized Affordable Housing in the U.S.
Manufactured housing is the largest form of unsubsidized affordable housing in the U.S. and the only type of housing built to a federal construction and safety standard – the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, also known as “the HUD Code.” The HUD Code’s single regulatory framework for home design and construction includes standards for health, safety, energy efficiency and durability. The affordability of manufactured homes enables individuals to obtain housing that is often much less expensive than renting or financing the purchase of a site-built home. Manufacturers deliver high-quality, HUD-Code homes with designs and features that consumers desire and at attainable prices.
With manufactured housing homebuilding facilities located across the United States employing significant numbers of workers – and manufactured housing communities located in all 50 states, manufactured housing is making the dream of home ownership possible to untold numbers of Americans.
