The purpose of the first of this two-part study was to investigate the potential niche markets open to Canadian manufacturers of factory-built housing in the Southeastern United States. Produced in late 1998, the report provides a substantive examination of the housing markets in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee. The author of the report states that these specific housing markets were targeted because this particular geographic area is experiencing strong economic growth and that this market is currently "a fragmented residential construction market". Part two of this study is due for completion later this year. The report is being offered to the Canadian housing industry free of charge.

This research was conducted through a partnership between Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and the Canadian Consulate General in Atlanta, Georgia.
