"Manufactured homes have historically been built to a HUD code, and in order to make manufactured homes a cost-effective option for consumers, we must ensure that HUD has primary authority over all manufactured housing standards. Thank you to my colleague Rep. Cleaver for helping to lead this effort, and I look forward to working together to move this legislation through our committee and the full House."
"For more than 50 years, our industry has partnered with HUD to help millions of Americans achieve the dream of homeownership, she said. The Streamlining Manufactured Housing Standards Act reaffirms HUD's sole authority over our construction standards, preserving the integrity of this long-standing partnership. Manufactured housing is the only form of housing built to a federal construction code, and we do it at scale delivering quality homes across the country at attainable prices."
Manufactured homes are built to a HUD code and retaining HUD's primary authority over all manufactured housing standards will help keep them cost-effective for consumers. The Streamlining Manufactured Housing Standards Act would reaffirm HUD's sole authority over construction standards and streamline regulation to lower housing costs. Advances in technology, data, and automation increase the viability of scaling manufactured housing to address the national housing shortage and affordability crisis. Regulatory efficiency combined with factory-built efficiency enables delivery of quality homes at attainable prices nationwide. The legislation is bipartisan and aims to expand manufactured housing while preserving federal oversight of energy and construction standards.
