Short Statement: One of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) main strategic goals is to promote decent affordable housing. HUD’s Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing (PATH) supports this and other HUD strategic goals through its programmatic goals of (1) study, reduce, and eliminate institutional barriers to technological innovation; (2) invest in collaborative technological research as well as improve the investment rate in housing research and development; and (3) improve the level of information and education regarding housing technology. PATH activities to promote decent and affordable housing include gathering information on how zoning codes and local regulations affect the cost of housing. Other activities include examining the use of alternative or less traditional housing structures such as HUD-code manufactured homes (formerly known as mobile homes) that have lower development and construction costs. The research outlined in this package combines elements of both of these activities with the objective to determine the type, incidence, and scope of regulatory barriers that Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)-eligible local governments (metropolitan municipalities and counties) use to prohibit or restrict the use of manufactured homes. This information will help HUD make suggestions and recommendations on steps that states and localities could take to eliminate or mitigate the identified barriers thereby opening up more opportunities for manufactured homes as a cost-effective affordable housing option.
