Cody Pearce returns to YES Communities as president

Cody Pearce has returned to YES Communities, one of the nation’s largest manufactured housing community operators, as president, effective July 13, 2026, the company announced.

Pearce will oversee day-to-day operations at one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of manufactured housing communities and work alongside CEO Steven Schaub to support the company’s growth strategy and long-term vision, according to the announcement.

He previously served as executive vice president of business operations at YES Communities, where he helped advance operational and strategic initiatives. Pearce’s return gives the company a president with experience across community operations, finance and lending at a time when manufactured housing is drawing more attention as an affordable housing option.

In addition to his earlier tenure at YES Communities, Pearce co-founded Cascade Financial Services LLC, where he served as president, and most recently was co-CEO of Triad Financial Services. He also serves as vice chairman of the Manufactured Housing Institute, a national trade group representing all segments of the factory-built housing industry.

“Cody’s return marks an exciting new chapter for YES Communities,” Schaub, CEO of YES Communities, said in the announcement. “He understands our business, our culture, and most importantly, our commitment to providing exceptional communities for our residents. His leadership experience, industry expertise, and passion for our mission make him the ideal person to lead our day-to-day operations as we continue to grow.”

Pearce said his focus will be on supporting residents and operational execution across the platform.

“I am thrilled to work with Steve Schaub and the YES Team as we continue serving our residents and stakeholders. Together, we will build on our strong foundation, foster a culture of excellence, and create meaningful opportunities for growth and success,” Pearce said.

As CEO, Schaub will continue to lead the company’s overall strategic direction, while Pearce assumes responsibility for operational leadership across the organization.
