Manufactured Housing Scores Major Win in Newly Enacted 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act

Today marks a historic milestone in pursuit of the American Dream of homeownership.

The enactment of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act represents the most significant federal housing supply legislation in decades and an important step toward expanding attainable homeownership opportunities for millions of Americans.

MHI extends its sincere appreciation to Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, Ranking Member Elizabeth Warren, House Financial Services Committee Chairman French Hill, Ranking Member Maxine Waters, House Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance Chairman Mike Flood and Ranking Member Emanuel Cleaver for their bipartisan leadership and commitment to advancing meaningful housing solutions. We also thank the many House and Senate members whose collaboration made this landmark achievement possible.

Upon passage, MHI’s CEO, Dr. Lesli Gooch, said “Today’s House passage brings this landmark housing package to the brink of enactment and reflects strong bipartisan and bicameral agreement on the need to expand housing supply. With final congressional approval, this legislation affirms that manufactured housing is central to meeting the nation’s affordability challenges, including through its dedicated focus on ‘Manufactured Housing for America.’ By reinforcing a proven federal framework that enables high-quality homes to be built efficiently and placed in more localities, this bill clears the way for meaningful progress in delivering attainable homeownership. We appreciate the leadership that brought this effort across the finish line in Congress and look forward to working with the Administration on enactment and implementation.”

The Manufactured Housing for America provisions included in this law recognize the critical role manufactured housing offers in addressing our nation’s housing shortage. MHI looks forward to working with policymakers and stakeholders to ensure these reforms are successfully implemented and help deliver more attainable homes for American families.
