Housing Supply Expansion Act 2025 Introduced

On Wednesday, Senator Katie Britt from Alabama joined forces with a bipartisan group of colleagues to introduce the Housing Supply Expansion Act of 2025.

This new legislation eliminates federal regulations concerning “manufactured homes,” which are built in factories and then transported to their final locations.

There’s been criticism regarding the permanent chassis requirements, with some arguing it restricts design options and available floor plans for homeowners. Manufactured homes are already recognized as more cost-effective and efficient compared to traditional site-built homes. It’s suggested that removing these chassis restrictions could further decrease the costs associated with manufactured homes.

Thanks to the Housing Supply Expansion Act, states can choose to manage manufactured homes without adhering to the existing permanent chassis requirements. To proceed with this, they need to submit a certificate to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development within a year of the law’s enactment.

Britt expressed her excitement about the new legislation in a press release on Wednesday.

“The Housing Supply Expansion Act of 2025 will modernize existing laws to meet current housing demands, helping to alleviate shortages and making homes more affordable for many Americans,” Britt stated. “I’m dedicated to pursuing innovative solutions that will expand the housing options in our country and assist hardworking Americans in achieving homeownership.”

She added, “Allowing off-chassis manufactured homes not only broadens consumer access to more efficient and cost-effective designs but also enhances architectural flexibility, enabling these homes to blend into their surrounding communities.”
