He continued, "Externally, we saw progress on the regulatory front with the passing of the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. The law highlights the role factory-built homes need to play in the housing affordability crisis with major sections dedicated to Manufactured Housing. It will enable innovation, provide regulatory clarity, improve access to financing, and encourage states and local authorities to reduce zoning barriers. Importantly, we are also seeing an increasing number of states passing legislation to improve zoning access at the local level. While we continue to manage through a challenging macro-economic environment for prospective homebuyers, the future is bright for factory-built housing solutions to help more families achieve home ownership."
