Article Abstract:

The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) created the Site Development Committee to undertake the testing of prefabricated houses. The committee, in turn, established the Urban Design Project to facilitate the construction and siting of manufactured homes in inner cities. Three out of five demonstration projects have already been completed in Wilkinsburg, PA, Washington, DC, and Louisville, KY. The industry has proclaimed the overwhelming success of the project which has spurred activities that are far beyond the original plan's scope.

Innovative home designs revitalize Lido resort

Article Abstract:

Lido Mobile Home Park owner John Curci and property manager Dick Bessire were able to enhance the image of their prime oceanside property by replacing the old structures with creative manufactured home designs. With the help of a regional Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Code construction company and the state government, Bessire and Curci were able to convert the 50-year-old community into the Lido Peninsula Resort by using one- and two-story HUD Code models on 30 X 35-foot sites.
