HUD Manufactured Housing Program
IBTS has managed manufactured home data on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for nearly 50 years. Starting in the 1970s, IBTS (then organized as the National Conference of States on Building Codes and Standards, or NCSBCS) began providing contract facilitation and coordination between HUD and the manufactured housing industry following HUD’s 1976 release of Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards (MHCSS, or HUD code). Today, IBTS assists homeowners, brokers, and real estate agents with accessing documentation to determine if a home is built according to HUD code and, if so, how it was designed and constructed.
FEMA – NexGen Manufactured Housing Production Monitoring
Through our existing indefinite delivery indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with FEMA to provide technical support services (TSS), IBTS provides quality assurance for thousands of FEMA’s NexGen manufactured housing units (MHUs), including quality monitoring during production, risk levels for non-conformance, technical support for deviations, and design improvement suggestions to further streamline production at manufacturing facilities across the U.S.
