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.
