Existing pieces exist to solve the housing puzzle……
At the 2024 MHI & National Communities Council meeting in Chicago in November 2024, Douglas Holtz-Eakin, President of the American Action Forum, gave an insightful keynote presentation titled “Post-Election Economic and Fiscal Policy Outlook.”
His analysis of the economic landscape and potential policy shifts provided much to consider, particularly regarding the housing sector.
Housing remains a notable exception while the broader economy remains strong—with mid-2% growth, manageable unemployment, and growing real wages.
Holtz-Eakin also addressed critical tailwinds, including decreasing development starts, stable regulatory costs and oil prices, and headwinds, such as international uncertainty, fiscal policy challenges, and inflation management.
With these dynamics at play, the housing industry must focus on and accept innovative solutions to meet demand and affordability.
Manufactured housing does this by offering immediate and future relief to an ever-growing housing crisis.
Leadership at Attainable Housing Collective LLC is inspired to continue championing this vital sector.
