Why Join the Congressional Manufactured Housing Caucus?

1. Manufactured homes account for 1 out of 4 new single-family homes sold each year in the United States.

2. Two of HUD’s top priorities are increasing access to affordable housing and reducing dependencies on subsidized housing. Manufactured homes, with an average cost of $62,300, offer a solution to both of these departmental priorities.

3. Congressional constituents -- the manufacturers, suppliers, retailers, community owners, and financial services providers -- see their Members’ determination to understand the industry and its issues when they join the Caucus.

The Congressional Manufactured Housing Caucus was created in May 1997 and is Co-Chaired by Representatives Bob Etheridge (NC) and Ken Calvert (CA). The objective of the Caucus is to promote manufactured housing as a solution to the nation’s shortage of affordable housing and to seek the removal of barriers to greater availability of manufactured housing.
