Thank you! 🙏

For this program the homes are on public land that will be sold to the homebuyers, but the program is only 200 homes. It’s not clear what happens after that.

If they ever feel comfortable. There is often a huge resistance to any kind of affordable housing.

These are the single starter family homes — there was $50M in the state budget for this pilot program

These homes are built to HUD standards and are built using crossmod technology. They’re permanently affixed to a slab foundation. They’re not trailers.

These are trailer parks — they’re standalone homes that sell like regular real estate.

I think there is a concern about this — manufactured housing has a serious stigma. The idea behind this plan is that if communities see it, they might see manufactured housing differently

This is a standalone plan to just build these units. Unlike Barclays it’s not tied to any other development.

Trailers are manufactured homes, but these aren’t trailers. The one I saw was 3 bedrooms with a walk in closet and a kitchen with an island and pendant lights. It’s affixed to the foundation. It meets HUD standards to you can get a mortgage. But it’s still on a chassis and built in a factory.

Hochul, whose parents once lived in a single wide trailer, sees this kind of housing as a way to quickly build affordable starter homes.

The home I toured was built in 8 days and installed in a week and it has 3 bedrooms and a kitchen with an island

Where is this alert from? Where are you? (Asking because I’m trying to get back to NJ before it gets too bad)

Perhaps most telling was my conversation with an Austin homeowner who's home has been sitting on the market since February. He lowered the price once, by $25,000, but he doesn't feel any urgency. His interest rate is 2.6%. Worst case, he says he'll rent it out.
