Clayton’s purpose is opening doors to a better life through attainable homeownership. There is an affordable housing crisis and we have the opportunity to be a solution through our efforts in building attainable, sustainably-built homes at a low homeownership cost. We believe the benefits of homeownership are long-lasting and make lives better, and therefore we are dedicated to democratizing attainable housing for all. Through innovative building practices and efficiencies, Clayton strives to provide quality and value for all our homes.

Clayton sees an opportunity for positive impact between sustainability and attainable homeownership. By finding innovative ways to reduce waste and build more efficiently, we incur less costs during construction, allowing us to deliver attainable housing and help more people experience the benefits of homeownership. In 2023, we introduced the new Clayton eBuilt® home. These homes are built to the US Department of Energy’s Zero Energy Ready Home™ specifications and are equipped with enhanced energy-efficient features that can save homeowners up to 50% on energy bills annually¹. Through home building innovations, energy efficiency home features and philanthropic partnerships, we aim to meet the needs of our communities today while opening the door to a better future for generations to come.

Arbor Day

Clayton and the Arbor Day Foundation® are aligned in our commitment to improve lives and build a better tomorrow. Together, we are planting more than 4.47 million native species trees by 2025 in forests of great need around the country, helping restore threatened ecosystems and create long-term, sustainable impact.
