Wednesday, April 1, 2026 – The Partners for Rural Transformation (PRT) released “A Solution to America’s Housing Crisis: How DreamBuild is Expanding Homeownership Opportunities in Rural America.” The study examines how DreamBuild, a modular housing solution developed by PRT Partner come dream. come build. (cdcb), is expanding by thinking beyond building a house and toward building an industry in rural communities across the country.
DreamBuild has the potential to help address our country’s housing crisis, where recent estimates suggest our housing supply could be more than 5 million units short. In rural America, this crisis is often compounded by the challenges of persistent poverty and other barriers to opportunity often linked to historically extractive economies in rural communities.
DreamBuild is an affordable housing production solution that is adapting to meet the needs of unique rural communities. It’s a versatile approach to homeownership in rural America that honors autonomy and quality while building wealth for communities and families.
“We’re not talking about building a house,” said cdcb CEO Nick Mitchell Bennett. “We’re talking about building an industry in your community.”
As the conversation around affordable housing continues to highlight modular housing and innovative production models, DreamBuild is capturing interest within the sector. It deserves serious consideration as an adaptable, national model.
