Client Testimonials

Our partnership with Next Step has been instrumental in getting factory-built developments off the ground, especially for our partnership with the City of San Bernardino. NPHS worked with Next Step to identify the manufacturers, select the homes, understand the manufacturing and delivery process, and ensure we receive the best possible pricing. The technical assistance NPHS received from Next Step was critical in developing scattered lots.
