SUMMARY
MassHousing is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for developers to participate in the 'Move-In MA' pilot program. The program focuses on the production of up to 20 CrossMod manufactured and modular homes, which are permanently affixed, factory-built units designed to look like site-built homes. The initiative targets homebuyers earning 70-130% of Area Median Income (AMI). Selected developers will receive loans to cover land purchase, home units, and associated costs, with repayment occurring upon sale to qualified buyers. Evaluation factors include developer experience, site control, feasibility, and conceptual development budgets. RFQ responses are due by September 11, 2026, with final selection of qualified developers expected by September 30, 2026.
