Factory-Built Housing Regional Pilot Program
California faces a growing need for housing that is affordable, equitable, climate-smart, and resilient. At the same time, the State must meet ambitious greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals, confront the increasing frequency of climate-related disasters, and support long-term recovery in vulnerable communities. The Factory-Built Housing (FBH) Regional Pilot Program is designed to help meet these intersecting challenges by accelerating the adoption of factory-built housing solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and adaptable to diverse community needs.
Factory-built housing offers a transformative approach to housing production that can:
- Expand affordability by reducing construction costs and accelerating delivery;
- Reduce emissions and environmental impacts through low-waste, high-efficiency manufacturing processes;
- Strengthen community resilience with durable, fire-resistant materials and climate-adaptive designs; and
- Accelerate recovery by enabling faster deployment of interim and permanent housing following disasters.
By investing in regional partnerships and flexible implementation strategies, the FBH Pilot Program empowers communities to scale housing solutions that align with local goals and statewide priorities.

The Factory-Built Housing Regional Pilot Program is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide program that puts billions of Cap-and-Invest dollars to work reducing GHG emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment– particularly in disadvantaged communities. The Cap-and-Invest program also creates a financial incentive for industries to invest in clean technologies and develop innovative ways to reduce pollution. California Climate Investments projects include affordable housing, renewable energy, public transportation, zero-emission vehicles, environmental restoration, more sustainable agriculture, recycling, and much more. At least 35 percent of these investments are located within and benefiting residents of disadvantaged communities, low-income communities, and low-income households across California.
