Chronology, executive orders and statutory excerpts. The plan states the operating environment in one paragraph. The documents live here.

The window is open. It will not stay empty.

Every program Washington has put on the table in 2025–2026 points at the same factory: domestic manufacturing, factory-built housing, modular production, FHA construction financing that matches a plant — not a jobsite. Ameridura is that factory. Being early is the strategy.

  1. January 20, 2025

    Louisiana Act 765 — manufactured, modular, and factory-built housing regulation. Be licensed and producing.

HUD news release HUD No. 26-049, June 12, 2026 — manufactured housing is part of the housing-supply solution.

HUD Secretary Scott Turner · June 12, 2026 · HUD No. 26-049

“America needs more housing, and manufactured housing is part of the solution. We are removing unnecessary barriers, encouraging innovation, and helping American manufacturers deliver more affordable housing options for American families.”

What this means for Ameridura. Washington has named factory-built housing as supply. Ameridura is that supply: a U.S. ICF modular manufacturer, not a jobsite builder hoping the weather holds.

Why we move now. The rulemaking is live. Plants that are already tooled will fill the first slots. Waiting for the comment period to close is how a competitor occupies the Gulf South.

Official source
White House Executive Order 14394, March 13, 2026 — Removing Regulatory Barriers to Affordable Home Construction.

President Donald J. Trump · March 13, 2026 · Executive Order 14394

“Layers of unnecessary regulatory barriers, slow permitting processes, and onerous mandates at all levels of government have delayed construction, restricted development, and driven up the costs of new housing. These constraints have made housing less affordable for many Americans. It is the policy of my Administration to reduce regulatory barriers to building homes and to steward taxpayer dollars in a manner that promotes housing affordability.”

What this means for Ameridura. The Administration’s diagnosis is our production system: take the house off the weather-exposed jobsite and manufacture it to objective building and safety standards — the IRC as adopted by Louisiana — on a permanent foundation.

Why we move now. EO 14394 tells agencies to examine rules that punish construction method instead of safety. Modular plants that are already producing will be the proof those agencies can point to.

Official source
Executive Order 14394 Section 4 — construction method versus objective building and safety standards.

The White House · March 13, 2026 · EO 14394, Section 4

“Agencies are directed to examine barriers involving manufactured housing, including restrictions based on construction method rather than objective building and safety standards.”

What this means for Ameridura. Ameridura’s product is already written to the objective standard: IRC modular, permanent foundation, Fannie/Freddie/FHA/USDA/VA as a house. We are not asking Washington to invent a new code for us. We are already in the code they are opening.

Why we move now. When method-based barriers fall, every factory that is already certified takes share. The plant that is still on paper does not.

Official source
Presidential memorandum, January 20, 2025 — lower the cost of housing and expand housing supply.

The White House · January 20, 2025 · Delivering Emergency Price Relief for American Families and Defeating the Cost-of-Living Crisis

“Federal agencies were directed to pursue actions to lower the cost of housing and expand housing supply. The memorandum identified historically high prices as a barrier to homeownership and identified regulatory requirements as contributing to the cost of constructing new homes.”

What this means for Ameridura. Ameridura’s $125/SF home price and factory production are how a family stops choosing between beautiful and attainable. The memorandum is the national problem. The plant is the local answer.

Why we move now. Agencies have been on this clock since January 20, 2025. Capital that tools a plant in 2026 is inside the Administration’s own timeline. Capital that waits is not.

Official source
21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, Section 301 — Housing Supply Expansion Act, enacted July 11, 2026.

United States Congress · July 11, 2026 · 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act § 301 — Housing Supply Expansion Act

“Section 301 changes the federal definition of manufactured housing to include factory-built units that are not built on a permanent chassis, and directs HUD to establish construction and safety standards for that expanded class.”

What this means for Ameridura. Washington is no longer treating “factory-built” as synonymous with a HUD-code chassis. Ameridura’s IRC modular home on a foundation is the product the statute is making room for. We remain IRC modular — Louisiana’s definition — so a buyer’s lender treats the dwelling as a house, not as a titled chassis.

Why we move now. Definition fights get settled in the first plants that ship. Louisiana Act 765 is effective January 1, 2027. The factory that is licensed and producing when that clock hits owns the Gulf South lane.

Official source
21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, Section 302 — Modular Housing Production Act.

United States Congress · July 11, 2026 · 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act § 302 — Modular Housing Production Act

“Section 302 directs the HUD Secretary to review FHA construction financing programs, identify barriers to modular home methods — including construction draw schedules — and, after a public report, initiate rulemaking on an alternative draw schedule for construction financing loans provided to modular and manufactured home developers.”

What this means for Ameridura. The bottleneck for modular has been the money, not the box: FHA draws were written for a jobsite that drips progress over months. Ameridura’s factory produces the house in weeks. An alternative draw schedule is how developers who buy our modules get paid on a factory clock instead of a stick-built clock. That is demand for this plant.

Why we move now. HUD has one year to publish the report and 120 days after that to start the rule. Developers will lock factory slots before the rule is final so they are first in line when FHA draws match factory production. The plant that is already running is the one they will call.

Official source

The Administration, HUD, SBA and Congress have already said the quiet part: America is short houses, factory production is how you add them, and the financing is being rewritten to match a plant. Ameridura Manufacturing Company is the plant. Ameridura Homes is the house. Speed to market is how we occupy the Gulf South before the lane is crowded.
