If you do this, it won’t take long for you and the industry to see the difference.
A Call To Action
Putting American modular, pre-fab and manufactured home builders to work building strong, modest homes for Haitians.
…A rough estimate of 10 billion dollars could put thousands back to work building housing instead of tents for those 2,000,000 Haitians. Properly invested, that 10 billion could build 400,000 strong yet modest dwellings, transport and install them. Compare that to passing out billions for unemployment checks, which makes more sense? Would we rather put Americans back to work, and let American know-how team up with Haitian labor installing those homes; or would we rather see waves of refugees coming to our shores as so often happens after political or economic disasters overseas? How long will 2 million people live in tents 710 miles from Miami, Florida?…
Haitian Disaster Relief and American Factory Built Housing: Crisis meets Opportunity?
Properly handled, America’s Factory Built Housing Industry could rapidly address the needs of Haitians for more substantial housing than tents, and could put thousands of skilled American workers back in factories assembling these emergency relief homes.

…See how to turn fear into positive ACTION!
We are pleased to present the first TRENDS 2010 Survey responses! Owners, executives, Industry rank and file; you’ll find candid comments ranging from the tame to the bold, from common sense to the controversial!
Positives in, Positives out!
In a computer class years ago, I recall those words: “Garbage in, Garbage out.” GIGO they called it. True. But the opposite is also true! If you feed the mind positives and solution orientation, it is no surprise when positive solutions to real problems are achieved.
If you are an owner, executive, association leader or manager, what do you want your people reading?…
