Expand federal support for factory-built housing

Liccardo proposes using HUD’s existing authorized budget to create steadier demand for factory-built housing, helping manufacturers expand. He also supports setting construction standards for federal funding, certifying suppliers that meet quality criteria, expanding workforce training for well-paying jobs, and helping modular builders meet bonding and other conventional construction requirements. He presents these steps as a way to increase the supply of dignified housing more quickly and at lower cost.

Context: The proposal relies on HUD’s existing authorized budget; the passage does not specify new funding amounts or a timeline.

In their own words
