Highlights from the I’m HOME Manufactured Housing Industry Benchmark Report 

The Innovations in Manufactured and Modular Homes (I’m HOME) Network at the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy will host a webinar on December 9 to unveil the latest “Manufactured Housing Industry Benchmark Report.” This annual report provides a comprehensive snapshot of progress in the manufactured housing sector and tracks how the industry is advancing homes that are durable, efficient, healthy, and affordable for millions of Americans.

This year’s report presents new data on production volumes, financing trends, and the adoption of energy-efficient and resilient construction standards. Kimberly Vermeer, principal author of the report will be joined by Stacey Epperson, Founder of NextStep Network,  in a conversation sharing the highlights from the report  and how the I’m HOME network is approaching these developments.

Participants will gain a clear understanding of where the industry has made measurable progress and where barriers remain. The session will explore how financing and policy innovation are supporting more equitable access to quality housing, and how the growing emphasis on energy efficiency and sustainability is influencing design, production, and long-term affordability. The conversation will also highlight opportunities for collaboration among I’m HOME Network partners working to strengthen the manufactured housing ecosystem in the year ahead.
