Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) Continues to Expose Principal Bottlenecks Suppressing Manufactured Housing
MHARR CONTINUES TO EXPOSE PRINCIPAL BOTTLENECK SUPPRESSING MANUFACTURED HOUSING
Washington, D.C., March 1, 2024 – The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has published a talking points paper (copy attached) explaining and highlighting the three main bottlenecks that are suppressing the production, marketing and sales of affordable, mainstream manufactured homes. Two of these bottlenecks have worked to thwart the expansion of the HUD Code market for decades, while the third – of more recent origin – has the potential to decimate the historical core of the industry if not stopped and fundamentally altered.
Especially after industry production statistics for 2023 showed a drop in industry production below the 100,000 home benchmark, MHARR has received numerous inquiries and requests from interested organizations and individuals – both within and outside the HUD Code industry – seeking a brief explanation of the main causes and factors that have fueled such a decline for the most affordable segment of the housing industry.
Therefore, the attached points are a brief summarization and explanation of those principal bottlenecks.
Organizations and individuals interested in the manufactured housing industry – and particularly industry state associations – can use this easy-to-read summary to highlight and address these negative and destructive factors.
MHARR will continue to expose — and advance the resolution – of these and other negative factors affecting the industry and its ability to fully meet and exceed the affordable housing needs of American families.
The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform is a Washington, D.C.- based national trade association representing the views and interests of independent producers of federally-regulated manufactured housing.
