	Issues in Manufactured Housing
		Manufactured homes are a major source of affordable housing for low- and moderate-income families.
		Of the 2.8 million 50-plus households living in a manufactured home in 1999, nearly 750,000 had a household head between 65 and 74 years of age, and around 620,000 were headed by a person age 75 or older.
		The median size of a manufactured home for 50-plus households was around 1,000 square feet in 1999, compared to 1,600 square feet for 50-plus households in conventional single-family housing.

	Manufactured Housing
		Manufactured housing differs from all other housing in that it is built to the HUD code, a national performance code that supercedes all state and local codes.
		While most manufactured housing parks tend to serve the young-old, they are experiencing aging in place and will soon find themselves in a situation not unlike that of owners of HUD subsidized projects for the elderly, who are currently facing the issue of how to deal with aging in place.
		Manufactured housing parks and HUD subsidized projects have certain characteristics in common: (1) they tend to serve low- to moderate-income households; (2) they have common areas that can be used to provide services; (3) they have a “critical mass” of persons aging in place so that services can be provided efficiently and effectively.

	Manufactured housing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Manufactured housing (known in some countries, including the United Kingdom, as prefab housing) is a type of housing unit that is largely assembled in factories and then transported to sites of use.
		Because of lower cost and the fact that their value tends to depreciate more quickly than site-built homes, manufactured housing is traditionally, although certainly not always, used by lower-income people.
		In the United States, the term manufactured housing is colloquially used to include both mobile homes and modular homes, but its technical use is restricted to a class of homes regulated by the Federal National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974.
