Homeownership

This historic publication is a dealers’ booklet, promoting participation in the FHA’s Better Housing program to architects, contractors, building supply companies, and other merchants involved in home supply. As the booklet advertises, the Better Housing program allowed homeowners to borrow $100 – 2,000 from local lenders or merchants for the purposes of home improvements. The loan, which could have a term as short as months or as long as five years, was insured by the FHA. The Better Housing program was authorized by Title I of the National Housing Act.

Offsite construction of housing, which includes manufactured housing, modular homes, and prefabricated structural components, offers potential for production efficiencies, improved quality, and lower costs. Key knowledge gaps and research needs to be addressed to overcome the barriers and challenges of offsite construction and fulfill its potential. A literature review and industry consultation informed development of this research roadmap and recommended research priorities for the Department of Housing and Urban Development and broader public-private collaborations to advance offsite construction for housing. Research priorities are identified for six topical areas: Regulatory Framework; Standards and System Performance; Capital, Finance, and Insurance; Project Delivery and Contracts; Labor and Workforce Training and Management; and Business Models and Economic Performance.

Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 & Project-Based Section 8

This report seeks to use HUD administrative data to estimate “voucher success rates”—that is, the rate at which households that receive a housing choice voucher successfully find and lease units in the private market. Previous studies of voucher success rates have required costly data collection directly from PHAs. Conducting the analysis using existing HUD data would enable more frequent monitoring of this important metric. The methods presented in this report require further validation, but are promising. The authors estimate that nearly two-thirds of non-Moving to Work PHAs pass data quality standards and, in 2019, those PHAs had a 61 percent success rate.

Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 & Project-Based Section 8

Housing and Children’s Healthy Development (HCHD) is a longitudinal study of families with children aged 3 to 10 years of age at the study’s inception that tests the impact of offering the families rental assistance through HUD’s Housing Choice Voucher program on their housing choices, housing and neighborhood quality, and children’s development. The study intends to reveal how being offered the housing choice voucher affects parents’ housing choices and children’s development. It includes a voucher sample of 895 households (1,231 children) randomly selected to receive or not receive the offer of a housing choice voucher in Cleveland, OH and Dallas, TX. It also includes a sample of 894 (1,194 children) households from the general population of families with children from a range of income levels. The Baseline Report describes the research questions, the contribution of the research, and research methods, including sites, sampling, and data collection. This research was funded by the MacArthur Foundation, the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and HUD.

HCHD is designed to address four policy research questions:

1. What are the effects of housing on children net of the other important influences on children’s lives, including their families, neighborhoods, and schools?
2. What features of housing matter most?
3. For whom and in what circumstances does housing matter?
4. How do families with young children make housing, neighborhood, and school choices; what are the effects of these choices; and how would these effects change if their choices changed?

Housing Choice Vouchers/Section 8 & Project-Based Section 8

The Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD), authorized by Congress in 2012, allows Public Housing Agencies (PHAs) to convert their public housing properties to either Project-Based Vouchers (PBVs) or to Project-Based Rental Assistance (PBRA) Section 8 contracts, to help address properties’ short-term capital needs and preserve their long-term viability. RAD residents have a right called choice mobility, which allows them to request tenant-based rental assistance after living on the RAD property for a minimum period of time. This report assesses the implementation and usage of choice mobility through interviews with a small number of PHAs, property owners, and residents. The report is part of a larger evaluation of RAD that will assess the implementation and impact of choice mobility, the long-term preservation and financial viability of converted properties, the adequacy of asset management for RAD conversions, and PHA organizational change. PHAs reported a low number of choice mobility requests and usage and attributed it to the quality of the newly renovated properties and tight rental markets. Residents also cited the quality of their current RAD units, housing market challenges, and mobility limitations as disincentives to moving. The final report of the RAD evaluation, which includes surveys of PHAs, residents, and property owners and operators, will provide additional information about the implementation and outcomes of the choice mobility option to supplement findings identified in this report.

Manufactured Housing

Factory-built homes are produced in a climate-controlled factory, mostly using standardized, repeatable design, and then assembled on-site. This study examines current trends in the factory-built housing industry, with primary emphasis on modular homes, to understand manufacturing and construction processes, the development of innovative building materials, consumer education, and affordable housing finance. A literature review, engagement with industry experts, and manufacturer case studies provide ample evidence that factory-built housing offers enhanced opportunities for affordable homeownership. The report offers market-driven and policy-specific recommendations for the industry and federal policymakers regarding the affordability potential of factory-built housing, the ongoing challenge of transportation costs, the need for educating market participants, and the need for continuing research on benefits and risks as well as production efficiencies including automation and robotics.
