Survey to gauge current consumer
perceptions of factory-built housing technologies with a primary
focus on panelized and modular housing. One of the strategic goals
outlined in HUD's Partnership for Advancing Technology in Housing
(PATH) is the increased focus on attitudes, behaviors, and motives

otherwise unavailable information essential to measuring the
effectiveness of PATH's outreach and promotional
campaigns.
