Affordable Recycled Housing

While many people think of manufactured homes as the trailers of the 60's and 70's the truth is that they have come a long way. They are comfortable and well insulated for the most part though in colder climates more insulation is a good idea. Many manufacturers make use of recycled materials in their construction making them "green" that way. Many older mobile homes are abandoned when their percieved useful life isreached. Many communities have started recycling projects to recycle the materials in them Look at what is going on in North Carolina at www.p2pays.org/ They are built to be efficient and use less resources both when built and whlie being lived in than a "stick built" home of similar size.

Manufactured homes and modular construction offer affordable housing alternatives for people who do not earn enough to buy a conventional home. There are even some dedicated and creative folks who have made a business of buying old mobile homes, remodeling them and selling them at affordable rates to people who have a hard time finding affordable homes.
