Reshaping the Housing Market<\/h2>\r\n \r\n

Across the United States, countless families are asking, “Can we afford to buy a home?” What was once a hallmark part of the American dream is now out of reach for the majority. There is no question that the country is currently facing the most acute affordable housing shortage in a decade.<\/p>\n

Next Step is challenging this narrative with an innovative and sustainable solution: high-quality, factory-built homes! Since 2004, this nationally-operating nonprofit has been working to close the affordability gap by placing families (many of them first-time buyers) in energy-efficient homes faster while generating less waste, which translates to lower construction costs.<\/p>\r\n <\/span>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\n\n
