Requirement Description:

HUD regulates the design and construction of manufactured housing. The National Manufactured

Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974 (the Act), implemented in June 1976, established the framework for the preemptive Federal Standards and the related manufactured housing regulatory programs (HUD programs) in use today.

Through HUD’s manufactured housing program, unsubsidized affordable housing is available for many families who might otherwise not be able to afford home ownership. Manufactured housing sales comprises of approximately one-in-eleven new single-family homes each year. Approximately Eight (8) million HUD Code homes have been built since 1976, and the overall quality and safety of manufactured homes has continued to improve under the HUD program. About 60 companies produce manufactured housing in about 120 plants (production lines) with current production of about 80,000 floors per federal fiscal year.

HUD relies highly upon Contractor services to assist the Department in performing assessment inspections, monitoring and enforcement of the private and state agents of HUD responsible for oversight of design and construction of manufactured housing.

HUD is committed to meeting its mission by creating strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all. These services support this overall mission as it will strengthen the

Nations Housing Market to bolster the economy and protect consumers.
