This week, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of creating a nationwide performance-based building code for manufactured housing when President Gerald R. Ford signed the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 into law on August 22, 1974.
The act, also known as the HUD Code, gives the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) the authority to establish and change the federal standards for manufactured homes. In a press release, HUD noted that this “simultaneously improved the safety of new manufactured housing, improved efficiency of mass production and reduced construction costs.”
Thanks to the manufactured housing industry’s partnership with HUD, manufactured housing has made the American Dream of homeownership attainable for millions of families. Manufactured home builders offer homebuyers brand-new homes with the design features and efficiencies they want at affordable prices. The partnership with HUD has resulted in homes that homebuyers love, especially compared to other housing choices at similar price points.
