I think the emphasis was just too short. I think they're saying manufactured homes were 50% of Single Family Homes. Of all housing constructed some is Single Family Homes, a free standing detached residential building. This is distinct from attached residential housing like duplexes, condos, and apartments. If you build 50 duplexes and 50 SFHs you've got 150 residences. If 50% of the SFHs are manufactured homes then you've got 25 manufactured homes out of 150. If the article is correct there's erroneous claims that manufactured homes are 60% of new "houses" which with my made up numbers would mean there's 90 manufactured homes out of our 150.

This is accurate. Here's an example of multi vs single family construction stats: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/daily-quotidien/220509/dq220509a-eng.pdf?st=klKNARvM https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/en/daily-quotidien/220509/dq... From the values of each, you can tell that multi-family units are a larger portion of residential construction. How much larger would require more research as on a per unit basis, multi-family units are cheaper per family than a single-family unit. Essentially, manufactured home in this case, even if they were 50% of single-family home construction, would be less than 25% of total family units constructed (single-family units + (singe units being construction in multi-family buildings).
