Local Policy to Preserve and Promote Manufactured Housing

Please join us for a webinar on using local policy to preserve and promote manufactured housing as an affordable housing option in your community. On this webinar, we will provide an overview of local policies and how they relate to manufactured housing, including zoning, moratoriums and other local ordinances. We will also hear examples and practical tips from local policy advocates. The policy content of this webinar will draw from the resource guide, Advocating at the Local Level,<http://cfed.org/r/A/MTI1NTk/OTA4OA/0...zEyLTA5LnBkZg> available on the Manufactured Housing Advocacy Center Toolkit page<http://cfed.org/r/A/MTI1NjA/OTA4OA/0...VfZ3VpZGVzLw>.

The Local Policy to Preserve and Promote Manufactured Housing webinar will highlight key local policies that impact the availability and opportunities of manufactured housing as a viable, affordable housing choice, including zoning, moratoriums and other local ordinances. The webinar will include local advocates with practical tips on how to best influence local policies to support low-income homeowners, including information on the consolidated and comprehensive planning process.

This webinar is designed for owners of manufactured homes, affordable housing advocates, legal services agencies and others working with low-income homeowners living in land-lease communities, state and local policymakers, and others interested in expanding affordable housing opportunities in their communities.

About the Manufactured Housing Webinar Series
Regardless of the economic landscape, affordable housing persists as a challenge in many communities across the country. Affordable housing developers, advocates, stakeholders and public officials need a comprehensive toolbox of affordable housing options that meet the full continuum of affordable housing needs in their community. Manufactured housing is a high-quality, affordable choice for many homeowners.

The goal of the Manufactured Housing Webinar Series is to provide practical information on the opportunities of manufactured housing as an affordable housing strategy. The series focuses on the intersection of building a local and state policy landscape that supports owners of manufactured housing and highlights case studies that have successfully leveraged strong policies to help homeowners build assets. Those interested in promoting quality, affordable housing options in their community should plan on attending. Topics in the Manufactured Housing Webinar Series rely heavily on the content of the Manufactured Housing Toolkit, available on the Manufactured Housing Advocacy Center<http://cfed.org/r/A/MTI1NjI/OTA4OA/0...lfY2VudGVyLw>.
