Join us September 21-22 for Right at Home 2021, a virtual forum focused on the State of Manufactured Housing in a Post-Pandemic Economy, hosted by Prosperity Now's I'M HOME Network! The two-day forum will comprise the following four moderated panels:

Ensuring Resident Stability in the Wake of the Pandemic
1:00 PM ET, Tuesday, September 21 | Register Here

In March, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau published data showing that 28 percent of manufactured homeowners reported being behind on their housing payments as of the end of 2020. This statistic is especially striking when measured against comparable rates for residents of single-family homes and small-to-mid-sized multi-unit apartments, which were 12 and 18 percent, respectively. This panel will discuss potential reasons for this disparity and how we might mitigate it as residents, practitioners, and policymakers.

Duty to Serve: Examining Federal, State, and Local Policy to Support and Protect Manufactured Housing
3:00 PM ET, Tuesday, September 21 | Register Here

This panel will focus on expanding our knowledge and understanding of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s recently published Manufactured Housing Market 2022-2024 Plans, which were prepared in adherence to the FHFA’s Duty to Serve program. We will hear from experts in policy and public finance as well as nonprofit and municipal housing agency leaders who will discuss the implications of the newly released documents in their respective communities.

Building A More Resilient Manufactured Housing Industry
1:00 PM ET, Wednesday, September 22 | Register Here

This session aims to investigate current trends and changes in the manufactured housing industry in the context of a post-pandemic recovery. Discussions will center around new developments (in terms of construction, financing, or development) in the pipeline; whether the industry is currently meeting the changing needs of residents; and how supply-side partners and agencies can facilitate greater adoption of the housing type. Prospective panelists include housing developers, lenders, and policy experts.

Reimagining the Future of Manufactured Housing
3:00 PM ET, Wednesday, September 22 | Register Here

In this session, we will facilitate an open discussion on how manufactured housing might be reimagined to expand its reach and allow more households to benefit from the unique advantages it offers. We will think about the future of manufactured housing, focusing on “big picture” ideas that affect the industry and residents nationwide.
