This document provides a roadmap for a research program that will generate the knowledge and innovations necessary to accomplish two objectives considered crucial to the future of the manufactured housing industry:

• continually improving the industry's core product, the single-family home; and
• expanding the benefits of manufactured housing to other housing types.

It is also intended to serve as a framework for cooperative research between the private and public sectors. The Roadmap contains five broad topic areas--the Home, the Factory, the Site, the Market and the Consumer--each with a set of key challenges. For each challenge, the Roadmap lays out a vision, and potential research and development focus areas.
