Helping Local Agencies Regulate Container Houses

Have you rejected the idea of a container house, or other factory built home because you feared it might not meet the requirements of local building agencies? Well the good news is California's Department of Housing and Urban Development has a Factory-Built Housing Program that not only ensures the health and safety of persons using or purchasing factory-built homes (FBH) or FBH building components,  they also publish a Handbook for Local Enforcement Agencies, Builders, and the General Public to assist local building agencies and the public in their understanding of the manufacture, assembly, installation, post-installation alteration and code enforcement upon factory-built homes, their systems and their components.
