This report is an amended version of a presentation given in January 1999 at the NAHB International Builders’ Show in Dallas. It was one of five presentations at the session on Housing Innovation—Management, Business and Marketing Practice sponsored by the Consortium of Housing Research Centers.
The PHRC is a member of the Consortium. One reason for reproducing this presentation was to demonstrate how a strategy to support a housing related issue, in this case Modular housing, has been developed. The collaboration of the industry (MABSC and PBA), government (DCED and the Office of Community Development and Housing) and the educational system (Penn State and Penn College) and the multi-task, multi-year structuring of activities are both important features of this strategy. One of the responsibilities of the PHRC is to facilitate both collaboration and problem resolution.
Feedback with regard to this brief report would be welcomed.
