According to mywesttexas, as housing tightens in Midland, Texas, teachers for the Midland Independent School District (MISD) are finding housing they can afford scarce. The school administration and trustees are exploring homesite possibilities for 50 manufactured homes it intends to acquire and then rent to teachers for $500 a month. Two separate sites are under consideration. All the homes will be 16 feet by 64 feet with either two or three bedrooms, and will be returned under a “buy-back” option to the seller. As MHProNews understands, the trustees have asked for a budget to document the costs of creating a temporary housing community.
