Scaling the Deployment of Lower-Cost Homes Produced through Offsite Construction

Offsite construction has the potential to produce high-quality homes that sell or rent at prices affordable to moderate-income households without a subsidy. Hear from two nonprofit practitioners and a state government official about how they are using offsite construction to achieve this goal and working to scale-up their efforts to expand their impact. The session will discuss a range of production methods but focus in particular on single-family manufactured homes (i.e., conform to the HUD Code) with added site-built features, including a pitched roof and a site-built garage and porch, that make them look and feel very similar to site-built homes. These include homes that meet the CrossMod and Next Step standards.
