Abstract
  • This article reviews the current context of manufactured housing within the nation and North Carolina in particular. Over the past decade, there has been significant growth in the number of North Carolina's mobile home residences, serving as an affordable housing option for low-to-moderate income households. Despite advances in the mobile home industry, five main sources of lingering problems within the industry are identified: financing, land use, quality of construction and installation, equity-building, and consumer protection. This review is intended to familiarize practitioners with issues related to manufactured housing, and calls for broad reform in the areas of consumer and industry education, state policy, financing programs, and public perception as a means to ensure that manufactured housing can serve as a viable option for affordable housing.
