Nationwide Homes in Martinsville, Virginia, Provides Showcase Duplex for MHI’s “Homes on the Hill” Advocacy Event in Washington, D.C.
07 Junio 2023 - 10:14AM
Nationwide Homes, a member of Cavco Industries, Inc. (“Cavco” or
the “Company”) and its Family Home Brands, announced today that its
Martinsville, Virginia, production facility has built, transported
and staged a modular home featured on the National Mall in
Washington, D.C. this week for the Manufactured Housing Institute’s
(MHI) “Homes on the Hill” advocacy event, of which Cavco is a
Partner Sponsor. This two-day initiative, organized in
collaboration with the Innovative Housing Showcase hosted by the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), returned
June 6-7 to Capitol Hill, with representatives from Nationwide
Homes and Cavco joining to advocate for the industry and showcase
the value of manufactured homes to policymakers, affordable housing
influencers and supporters, the media and consumers.
This year, Cavco and Nationwide is displaying
the Sanibel model, a one-level duplex with a shared porch that’s
great for infill and narrow lots that are popular in urban
neighborhoods. Each of the two units is 914 sqft with 885 sqft of
living space, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and an open layout in the
living areas. For additional affordability over the life of the
home, this model meets the energy efficiency requirements for
designation as an EPA ENERGY STAR Version 3.1 Single-Family New
Home (Rev 11).
“Cavco is thrilled to return to the nation’s
capital to exhibit our affordable solutions to the country’s severe
housing deficit,” said Cavco CEO and President Bill Boor. “Homes on
the Hill is a unique opportunity to show policy makers the quality
of today’s factory-built homes and talk with them about removing
barriers to the most affordable form of unsubsidized home
ownership. This year, we are displaying a duplex model as a
multi-family option for much needed infill projects and workforce
housing. Additionally, we are extremely proud of this home’s ENERGY
STAR designation for a lifetime of energy efficiency and cost
savings.”
Leaders from Cavco and Nationwide, including
Cavco CEO Bill Boor, Don Aheron, General Manager, Nationwide Homes,
Martinsville, Virginia, Cavco President of Manufacturing Brian
Cira, Vice President of Sales Eric Coulter and other members of the
Cavco national sales team will be on hand to meet with key
policymakers, encourage congressional leaders to vote to protect
this vital source of affordable homes and answer questions about
manufactured and modular homes for the general public.
Manufactured housing is the largest form of
unsubsidized affordable housing in the country, and the only type
of housing built to a federal construction and safety standard –
the Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards, also known
as “the HUD Code.” The HUD Code’s single regulatory framework for
home design and construction includes standards for health, safety,
energy efficiency and durability. The affordability of manufactured
homes enables individuals to obtain housing that is often much less
expensive than renting or financing the purchase of a site-built
home. Manufacturers deliver high-quality, HUD-Code and modular
homes with designs and features that consumers desire and at
manageable prices. Additionally, Cavco’s manufactured and modular
home construction process creates a tight energy efficient envelope
using renewable materials as well as providing better indoor air
quality, tighter ductwork, best use of space and other features
that make them highly energy efficient.
Today, 22 million people live in manufactured
housing in the United States, and the industry employs hundreds of
thousands of Americans across all 50 states. Manufactured housing
helps make the American Dream of homeownership a reality for
countless families.
