The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is seeking a contractor for its Modular Construction Insured Lending Demonstration, aimed at increasing financing access for developers and manufacturers of modular homes by mitigating perceived lending risks. The contractor will be responsible for designing, implementing, and administering a loan guarantee product that insures private lending during the manufacturing period, thereby enhancing the volume and efficiency of modular home production. This initiative is crucial for promoting modular construction, which involves assembling building elements in a factory setting, and is expected to last between two to five years, requiring regular updates and independent evaluations. Interested parties can contact Xochitl G. Diaz at xochitl.g.diaz@HUD.gov or Dwayne Gist at dwayne.e.gist@hud.gov for further information, as HUD is currently conducting market research to gauge interest and qualifications for this opportunity.
