The retail cost of a manufactured single-wide home today is roughly $50K.[0] Wholesale, en masse, sited (public land), probably $30-40K. Donated/volunteer work could lower that considerably. 41,000 x 35,000 < $1.5 billion. (That's before water, sewer, energy.)
About 1/10th the cost of conventional, enduring single-family (same site). Not suggesting that's the best method (it's not; another topic) but a ball-park figure for a proven method (widely discriminated against and widely eliminated in the past 40 years). Laws needed to prove public land and ensure it can never fall into private hands.
