TSX Venture Exchange: GRB
US OTC Market: GEBRF
Scottsdale, Arizona, September 17th, 2024 - Greenbriar Sustainable Living Inc. (TSXV: GRB) (OTC:
GEBRF) ("Greenbriar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has executed a 12-
month Memorandum of Understanding with Cavco Industries Inc. ("Cavco")
Cavco is a builder of manufactured homes in North America with annual audited 2023 revenues of USD
$1.8 Billion, USD $158 million in net profit, USD $579 million in working capital and a closing price per
share on September 16, 2024 of USD $417.17 on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. With four
manufacturing facilities in Texas, North Carolina, California, and Arizona, and more than 230 retail
partners, Cavco serves customers across Arizona, California, Colorado, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico,
North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, and Utah. Each of Cavco's factory-built homes are constructed in a
controlled indoor environment at a fraction of the time and cost of a site-built home and are partially or
fully customizable to a buyer's wish list. Cavco has built and sold more than 500,000 manufactured
homes.
The Problem
The U.S. faces a national shortage of affordable homes at current prices and mortgage rates, few
Americans can afford to buy a house today. Many are priced out of the American Dream due to high
housing prices (national average: USD $412,300), high interest rates (current 30-year mortgage rates are
near 6.5%), and supply challenges. Nearly 70% of existing home owners took advantage of low financing
rates in 2018-2021, and are thus rate-locked into their current residence. Much of the marginal supply
from retiring baby boomers is too big (>3,500 sq ft), in the wrong location (Northeast and Midwest U.S.
regions), or too expensive for the current buyers. Within this priced-out buying group are college
graduates, down-sizing seniors, and military veterans, and these large cohorts have driven up rents
nationally. Americans are currently faced with choosing between mortgage payments they can't afford,
high rents which build no equity, or neighborhoods they don't want to live in. California is a compelling
example with 39 million official residents and a median family home price of USD $773,363. The Golden
State has an estimated shortage of 3.5 million affordable homes. (Above from Zillow and Federal Reserve

Greenbriar received full entitlement for a 995 home, entry-level priced, green subdivision in Southern
California in 2021 and a final Precise Development Plan approval in November 2023. Greenbriar has
access for 3,500 more homes in Cedar City, Utah. Cavco is a designer and builder of manufactured homes
in North America. Greenbriar has an immediate pipeline of 4,500 entry-level sustainable homes. Together
Greenbriar and Cavco through the MOU will collaborate on placing Cavco homes at our select locations.
On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
announced it has implemented the most extensive changes to its Manufactured Home Construction and
Safety Standards (HUD Code) in more than 30 years. While the HUD Code changes include almost 90 new
and updated standards to foster innovation, improve safety and accelerate the production of homes, the
HUD's official approval for the building of duplex, triplex and quadplex homes nationwide includes a
waiver allowing for immediate construction. This move, to address the nation's affordable housing crisis
enables homebuilders to push for more creative housing solutions using manufactured homes. Cavco was
the first manufactured homebuilder to work with HUD to build the first single and double-section HUD-
approved true duplexes as part of its innovative Anthem series. Cavco launched the first HUD-approved
multi-section duplex in Rocky Mount, VA in December 2023 and unveiled the first HUD-approved single-
section manufactured duplex in Washington DC in June 2024. This innovative single-section Anthem
duplex model, the Blue Ridge, has two separate living units built on one frame or section. One of the living
units is a 2 bedroom, 1 bath, and the other a 1 bedroom, 1 bath. Both units offer a spacious, open plan
living area and designer kitchen and bathroom and are separated by a firewall.
