Statement of Need
Chicago continues to experience a severe shortage of affordable home ownership options in many
neighborhoods newly constructed brick homes routinely sell for $400,000 or more. Placing
ownership out of reach for working families, first time buyers and residence seeking to remain in
their communities.
We will create a private manufactured home community of factory
built homes in a community setting. It will offer a vibrant living
experience that caters to different lifestyles, including families, and
retirees. Manufactured home communities range from affordable
to luxury in cities across the nation. It is estimated that 17.7 million
people live in manufactured homes today.
,
But more and more, the interest in modular housing is growing among
American homebuyers.
