President Bush Signs HR 3221
The housing bill signed by President Bush on July 30, 2008, includes a long list of provisions.

System-built homes provide a green alternative

Looking for green options in home ownership? System-built homes have an eco-friendly advantage over site-built homes from the moment construction begins. Being built in a factory, it's easier to control the amounts of waste created and recycled throughout the homebuilding process. Building materials are precut with system-built homes, significantly reducing waste by up to 70 percent.

Homes designed to meet the needs of all generations

Imagine a beautiful home that is specially designed to meet the needs of you and your growing family, one that allows you to care for an aging parent, and appeals to everyone in your family. A universally designed home is making great strides, with features that increase the functionality of your home for people of all ages, sizes and abilities.

Universal design is a way of ensuring that homes are designed and built to be used by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for adaptation or remodeling at a later date. These design principles are easily applied to system-built homes. When a system-built home is universally designed from the start, it simplifies life for everyone, regardless of life stage or abilities. It meets the wide span of the homeowners' needs, now and into the future.
