Manufactured housing has a lot of potential, particularly in the context of affordable housing solutions. There are several advantages associated with them: 1. Affordability: The most significant benefit of manufactured housing is their affordability. They typically cost less per square foot compared to traditional stick-built homes, making them an attractive option for home buyers on a budget. 2. Quality Control: Since they are built in a controlled environment, it can potentially reduce the likelihood of construction delays due to weather conditions. Plus, materials stored indoors are less likely to get wet and damaged. 3. Customization: Manufacturers often offer various design and style options, which means buyers can customize their homes to fit their tastes. 4. Energy Efficiency: Many manufactured homes now come with energy-efficient features. Some are even built to Energy Star standards. However, there are also a few drawbacks: 1. Depreciation: Unlike traditional homes, manufactured homes don't tend to appreciate in value over time. 2. Financing: It can be more difficult to secure financing for a manufactured home compared to a traditional home. 3. Land Ownership: In some cases, you may own your manufactured home but not the land it resides on, which may result in additional monthly costs. 4. Perception: There can still be a stigma attached to manufactured housing that can influence resale value and acceptance in certain communities. In terms of marketing manufactured homes, highlighting the benefits of affordability, customization, and lifestyle flexibility is key. A well-maintained manufactured home in a desirable location can still be a worthwhile investment. Overall, manufactured homes can be a good option, particularly for those entering the housing market, downsizing, or looking for affordable alternatives. would love to know your thoughts 👇

I chatted with Places for People's CEO of Regeneration and Communities, @AdrianBohr, about the housing association's land-led plans to deliver 5,000 homes per year by 2028. Using a combination of direct delivery of homes on their own sites, and larger joint ventures with Homes England, local authorities and other developers, PfP is looking to steadily increase its building programme. PfP says the strategic land division identifies “longer-term, slower-burn" land opportunities, with projects that are three to 10 years away from allocation. While many housing associations are scaling back housebuilding to focus on existing stock, PfP is one of the housing associations that is aiming to expand its housing programme. https://bitly.ws/XIi5

Affordable housing is desperately needed. Manufactured housing paired with updated zoning, permitting, and lending can help improve housing affordability if safeguarded from special interest groups who may fight to obstruct or block such housing, often to protect their profits. #affordablehousing

John Smolak - At over $606K per unit, I do hope no government funding, tax credits or other government incentives were provided for this project! And if so, at what cost to the community in exchange for a few affordable housing units which may a short affordability period. Veteran Housing Corp applauds all efforts to build affordable housing but would challenge the US Congress and every local, state, and federal housing agency or affordable housing developer to do better in 2024 and beyond. Veteran Housing Corp demands permanent affordability for all projects receiving government funding, subsidies, tax credits, or other incentives! Veteran Housing Corp demands transparency and every local, state, and federal government agency and other stakeholders MUST provide answers to questions about the housing projects that are built with government funding, subsidies, tax credits, or incentives, including the following: 1. How much funding, federal tax credits, or government benefits or incentives from all government sources did the projects receive? 2. What is the affordability period for each project? 3. What guarantees exist that tenants will not be displaced after the "affordability period expires? Every local, state, and federal housing authority and affordable or workforce housing stakeholder should adopt the State of Vermont's "permanent affordability" policy as a model for all future government funded or subsidized housing projects or developments, no exceptions!  https://lnkd.in/eFEUC8c8 Additionally, local, state and federal housing agencies should look to the Helsinki, FINLAND MODEL of ending homelessness by providing affordable housing for all 'It’s a miracle': Helsinki's radical solution to homelessness https://lnkd.in/er9HZSQU U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development AGREES THAT adopting FINLAND'S MODEL OF ERADICATING HOMELESSNESS may be of great value to resolving the affordable housing and homelessness crises in America https://lnkd.in/gkSZWYRU
