Module's Mission-Driven Developer Program supports housing providers developing
New affordable, mixed-income, and workforce housing.
Module's vision is to create a world where everyone lives in a well-designed space they are proud to call home. Affordable housing is an important part of building a strong community, yet many promising projects struggle to get off the ground due to funding gaps, capacity challenges, and complex entitlement processes. Through the Mission-Driven Developer Program (MDDP), Module is chipping away at these barriers one project at a time.
Now entering its second phase, MDDP II is designed to support mission-aligned developers who are ready to build modular housing across the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions.
