01 Impact

Convene, educate, and assist with policy in order to build a shared regional vision and goals for IHD with agencies, community groups and housing advocates.

Industrialized Housing Delivery (IHD) works only when many people change how they work together: agencies, lenders, builders, schools and neighbors. Impact is how BMOD brings them to one table and keeps them there.

Outcomes we are working toward

  • A collaboration framework

  • A homeowner stabilization plan, distinct from existing repair programs

  • A pilot plan for State recognition of the future NIBS–MOD X Housing System Certification Program

  • Financing, policy & regulation report

What Impact looks like today

  • BMOD is actively connecting with officials at the City and State level to find ways to streamline scalable IHD through permitting, codes, and zoning.

  • We share what we learn in public: findings, workshop recordings and field notes in the BMOD Library.

  • We take Baltimore’s case to national audiences, including a session at the 2026 National Modular Housing Conference in November.

On your project

Leveraging the larger ecosystem. BMOD offers a project’s owner visioning, placing the project within a broader vision for community development across the city, discussed with the owner, its partners and City and State agencies; introductions to City and State agencies and partners, and connections to the City and State investment programs that can reach the neighborhood; and capacity building, such as helping a community association incorporate, or exploring the feasibility of a community development corporation to acquire, redevelop and manage housing. This is distinct from the project-specific development advice in the Develop activity.
