A study of the cost effectiveness of offsite construction housing is due in a year
What the document says“Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall conduct a study and submit to Congress a report on the cost effectiveness of offsite construction housing that includes--”
The section requires the Secretary to study and report to Congress within a year on the cost effectiveness of offsite construction housing, meaning manufactured homes and modular homes. The report must analyze the effect of factory building and transport on cost, precision, and materials waste, compare how far such housing meets housing quality standards against site-built homes, compare expected replacement and maintenance costs over the first 40 years, and identify uses beyond single-family housing such as accessory dwelling units, two- to four-unit housing, and large multifamily housing.
What the document actually says“Not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of this section, the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development shall conduct a study and submit to Congress a report on the cost effectiveness of offsite construction housing that includes--”
The housing agency must study homes built away from the site. It must report to Congress within a year. The question is whether they cost less.
Offsite building means the home is made in a factory. The study weighs those homes against homes built on the spot. It looks at cost, quality, and upkeep over 40 years.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
