This Act mandates the Department of Housing (HUD) to review Federal Housing Administration (FHA) financing programs to identify and remove obstacles for modular home construction. The goal is to adjust financial rules, such as construction loan draw schedules, making it easier for developers to build factory-made homes. This initiative aims to increase the supply of potentially more affordable housing options for citizens.

Mandates the initiation of rulemaking to establish an alternative loan draw schedule better suited for the rapid construction process of modular homes.
