NIBS Selected by HUD to Advance Factory-Built Housing Standards
What happened
The National Institute of Building Sciences was selected by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to support a new initiative. This effort aims to expand the use of factory-built construction for multifamily housing. Over a 12-month period, NIBS and its strategic partner MOD X will work to address barriers tied to building codes, financing, insurance, and regulatory approval.

Why it matters
The initiative will work to create a clearer pathway for using manufactured housing in developments of five or more homes. By addressing regulatory and financial barriers, the project aims to support HUD’s planning for future demonstrations of factory-built multifamily housing. This effort builds upon previous research funded by HUD.
