Democratize Attainable Homeownership

SR2024 Democratize Attainable Homeownership - Transition 3 Image

Clayton’s purpose is to open doors to a better life by making homeownership possible for more people. And one key way we can do this is by offering more attainable home options for today’s buyers. There are many long-term benefits to homeownership, which is why we’re dedicated to providing quality, energy-efficient homes through our innovative, sustainable building practices.

Efficient and Innovative Home Building

CrossMod® Homes

This new category of modern manufactured home combines many of the advantages of site-built and off-site built construction, including forward-thinking designs. CrossMod homes also appraise on par with site-built homes and can offer additional loan options, helping to put homeownership within reach for more people.

Build a Sustainable Future

SR2024 Build a Sustainable Future - Transition 4 Image

At Clayton, we focus our sustainability efforts to open doors to a better life for future generations in three areas: the way we build, the homes we build and the future we build. We believe that sustainability and attainable homeownership go hand in hand. By finding innovative ways to reduce waste and build more efficiently, we incur less costs during construction, allowing us to deliver attainable homeownership. We also design our homes with energy-efficient features that help reduce long-term utility costs for homeowners. In 2023, we introduced eBuilt® homes, which are built to the DOE’s Zero Energy Ready Home™ specifications. Finally, our philanthropic partnerships help meet the needs of our communities today and our planet tomorrow.

Arbor Day

Clayton and the Arbor Day Foundation® are aligned on improving lives and building a better tomorrow. We achieved the goal we set in 2022 to plant 4.47 million trees by 2025, and now we are going further by planting an additional 1.07 million trees in 2025, planting one tree for every one used to build our homes last year.
