SBWire reports ModularHomesNetwork (MHN) says the modular housing industry is stabilizing after losing a number of manufacturers in 2011. With more starts this year than last, and growth in the multi-family market, MHN notes Q1 modular housing growth in the New England area, New Jersey, and upper Midwest as well as Texas and Louisiana. Figures in our MHProNews story posted Dec. 2, 2011 (the last accounting we have seen) from the National Modular Housing Council show 3,544 modular homes shipped in the third quarter of 2011, a two percent drop from the same quarter 2010.
