Manufactured housing presents a critical yet underutilized solution to the ongoing housing crisis, offering an attainable path to homeownership amid rising costs and supply shortages. However, the sector remains constrained by issues of quality, inequitable zoning restrictions, outdated building codes, and persistent social stigma, all of which hinder its potential as a viable, long-term housing solution. Historically marginalized in both perception and policy, manufactured homes have been subject to regulatory frameworks that reinforce their exclusion from high-opportunity areas while allowing substandard construction practices to persist. This thesis challenges these limitations by proposing architectural advancements in materials, construction methods, and performance standards that elevate manufactured housing to a higher standard of durability, efficiency, and livability. In doing so, it calls for reforms in zoning and building codes that not only recognize manufactured housing as a legitimate and necessary form of residence but also encourage its evolution into a sustainable and dignified component of the built environment.
