State Policy Playbook: Expanding and Preserving Attainable Housing with Manufactured Homes

Join the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy’s Innovations in Manufactured and Modular Homes Network (I’m HOME) and The Pew Charitable Trusts for the launch of a new state policy playbook focused on expanding and preserving manufactured housing opportunities across the United States. This event will introduce the playbook’s overarching policy recommendations and highlight how states can take meaningful action to increase housing supply, improve affordability, and modernize housing policy through manufactured housing.

The launch will bring together policymakers, practitioners, advocates, and researchers for a discussion of state-level strategies to support manufactured housing as an important part of the nation’s housing landscape. The program will be organized around three core policy areas: building attainable supply through zoning and land use reform, expanding access to mortgages for homebuyers by modernizing titling policy, and promising strategies to preserve existing communities as a source of naturally occurring affordable housing.

Together, these themes will showcase how states have approached reducing regulatory barriers, supporting healthier and more energy-efficient housing options, removing unnecessary hurdles preventing homebuyer access to mortgages, and helping families remain in their homes.

Registration opens April 27, 2026.
