1. What Exactly Are Manufactured Homes?

Manufactured homes are factory-built houses that adhere to federal standards. Originating in the 1930s and 1940s as wheeled trailers, they were renamed as "mobile homes" in the 1950s when they became permanent housing. In the 1970s, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) set national Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, covering factors like fire safety, building materials, windstorm protection, and more. HUD also oversees their installation. According to HUD Code, manufactured homes are equivalent to site-built homes.
