NOAH Manufactured Home Park Development Resources
Manufactured Housing Policy Leadership
Since 2007 Network for Oregon Affordable Housing has been a leader in promoting policies that support manufactured housing community preservation and operation, and the use of factory-built housing in new development.
We work closely with key legislators on manufactured housing policy bills and funding requests that support manufactured housing community preservation and replacement of obsolete homes.
In support of the growing interest in manufactured housing, NOAH has convened policy workgroups, led intensive training programs, and sponsored conferences that bring together practitioners and policy leaders who share our interest in promoting manufactured housing as an affordable approach to meeting our community housing needs.
NOAH’s areas of interest and expertise include:
- Manufactured housing landscape and public policy
- Manufactured housing community acquisition and preservation
- Community financing
- Valuation and Capital Needs Assessments
- Operations and management
- New manufactured housing community development
- Use of highly energy-efficient manufactured homes
Program materials from the 2023 Manufactured Housing Development Training in Eugene are linked below. You can also access the program materials from the 2018 Southern Oregon Manufactured Housing Conference in Ashland.

The Southern Oregon Manufactured Housing Conference
Thursday, October 4, 2018 - Ashland, Oregon
NOAH is once again pleased to convene the Southern Oregon Manufactured Housing conference!
The Southern Oregon Manufactured Housing Conference is an exploration of the increasingly important role manufactured housing plays in our communities. We’ve put together an agenda covering a variety of topics designed to build the capacity of those committed to preserving this critical infrastructure in Jackson and Josephine counties. A range of topics will be presented designed to inspire and motivate you with new ideas. Among others, we’ll cover financing and infrastructure, energy efficiency programs, homebuyer education and policy updates. Bring your team (or just bring yourself). Download the conference summary here.
Hosted by State Representative Pam Marsh (D-District 5), join housing experts, policy makers, residents, advocates, and local planning and community development staff as we spend the day learning about best practices to promote manufactured housing.

Development Services & Technical Assistance
NOAH offers development services at three points during the development process and charges no fees for these services. NOAH bears the cost and considers this work part of our mission. These services are provided without the precondition that NOAH will be the primary financing source.
Pre-Development
- During pre-development, NOAH helps potential borrowers become loan-ready. This may include working with an individual organization with a housing project, or a group of organizations that are trying to structure a collaborative real estate deal. NOAH staff offers input regarding borrower structures and transaction specifics. This includes advising on the proper application of government subsidies and private financing; guidance with developing the financial pro forma; and help identifying market demand.
Development
- During the development phase of the project, NOAH helps borrowers refine their capital structures and operating numbers; assists with loan closing procedures; and, helps manage relationships with other development partners. With NOAH’s long experience in lending, we have an extensive database of comparable costs that can be a resource to affordable housing developers.
Post-Loan
- Post-loan, NOAH provides ongoing support and tracks relevant information about the loan’s performance so that problems are identified early when corrective action is easiest to mitigate. NOAH performs regular property inspections and provides feedback on asset management issues. NOAH has extensive experience in addressing construction defects and provides consultation to the owner if these issues occur.
Preservation Program
In addition to development services related to NOAH’s lending, NOAH provides technical assistance to housing developers through our Preservation program. Preservation program staff help match sellers with buyers of federally assisted housing, and help sellers and buyers navigate the plethora of regulations and financing options.
