Carson Calls For Deregulation For Modular And Manufactured Home Industries
Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson blamed rampant U.S. homelessness on “stacks and stacks of regulations” on technology for modular and tiny homes.
Patton said that of the 78,000 New Yorkers on the streets, about 20,000 are children, and more than 3,600 people are sleeping outside on any given night of the year. Carson noted that young people’s incomes aren’t high enough to live comfortably in cities like New York before touting the “exploding” economy.
“Think of yourself as a millennial or a young person, maybe coming out college and getting your first job for $50,000 a year – you can’t afford anything here, forget about it. But if you had those other alternatives, you’d be able to get into it, build some equity step-wise and move to something else that’s one of the things we have to do,” Carson continued.
The Republican HUD secretary and the former neurosurgeon said additional government programs are not the answer to the homelessness problem.

This is so great! I am a tiny home builder in CA and I am able to build a perfectly comfortable well insulated and durable hut for less than 2k . They can be built on a trailer or on the ground. I’d love to explore ways that these can become more accepted by the government as a solution to house the homeless…even have them help build them! If be happy to discuss 7073203609
I’m from TN so I’m not sure of any of the building code out the but what are the similarities and differences in the building codes from a tiny home and a standard house out there
You will have to check directly with the county.
what is the name of your company?

This is awesome although my opinion is that these HOA’s have a big hand where tiny homes are acceptable near the big cities where they look at anything unique as an eyesore
