last few years as part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development ’ s Innovative Housing Showcase . The event for us is not about selling homes , but rather about educating policymakers about the benefits of factory-built housing at a time of a national affordable housing crisis . This might be our most important project to date because legislators , regulators and policymakers in DC talk a lot about housing , affordability issues , regulations , and sustainability , but many of them have never been in a manufactured home , much less a modern manufactured home . So , giving them the opportunity to walk through one of our homes and witness the innovation and progress first-hand is very exciting . Ultimately , our aim is to make these homes more accessible . Zoning barriers need to be dropped to enable manufactured housing to be situated in urban locations and this requires outdated views of manufactured housing to change .
“ While the market has somewhat paused , we ’ re managing our way through it by focusing on our long-term strategy and
staying the course . I ’ m confident that recovery will occur , and we ’ ll be able to play our part in chipping away at the national housing deficit . Our goal is not necessarily to grow to a target size , but rather to continue to be a responsible and respected company . In five years ’ time , we want to have broken through the urban zoning barriers , to be making different and innovative products and to continue to be a great employer ,” Bill concludes . ■
