7.1 million unavailable housing units.

And a recent Harvard study shows there are 7.1 million unavailable housing units today. Wow. For people that have the least amount of income. Right. So that's 18 to $25. So there's a long way to go to fill that gap. We really feel like affordable housing or manufactured housing can meet those needs. And as I met with Plain Township, they recommended that I reach out to the local manufacturing community and talk to them.
