About the 2012 Manufactured Housing Webinar Series
Regardless of the economic landscape, affordable housing persists as a challenge in many communities across the country. Manufactured housing is a high-quality, affordable choice for many homeowners. I'M HOME and our partners work to assure that manufactured housing becomes a part of the national affordable housing strategy, which is a task that faces a range of challenges. Overcoming these challenges requires policy, legislative, financing, market and political actions at the federal, state and local levels. This webinar series is designed to inform key stakeholders about strategies for overcoming those challenges, lift up examples of successful strategies, and enhance communication among advocates, developers, stakeholders and public officials about how to make those strategies work.

Who Should Participate?
The 2012 Manufactured Housing Webinar Series is intended for affordable housing developers and advocates, state and local public officials, federal agency officials, financial institution professionals and other stakeholders interested in promoting quality, affordable housing options in their communities.

What You Will Learn
The 2012 Manufactured Housing Webinar Series will provide practical information on the opportunities for manufactured housing as an affordable housing strategy and will delve into issues that affect legislative, regulatory and market-based strategies for doing so. The series will focus on the intersection of building a local, federal and state policy landscape and improved financing system that supports owners of manufactured housing and will highlight case studies that have successfully leveraged strong policies to help homeowners build assets.
