A new National Housing Conference article from JPMorganChase examines how innovative construction can help lower housing costs and expand attainable homeownership opportunities.

 

The article highlights manufactured and modular housing as practical tools for reducing construction costs and shortening development timelines. It also identifies the policies needed to support broader adoption, including construction-neutral regulations, consistent zoning and inspection processes, dependable demand pipelines and financing structures that reflect factory-built construction.

 

The article is part of JPMorganChase’s Building Blocks series examining state and local policy solutions to reduce housing-production costs. Its recommendations reinforce MHI’s continued work to eliminate regulatory barriers and ensure manufactured housing competes on equal footing with site-built housing.
