ICYMI - Legislation to Remove DOE Authority over Manufactured Housing Energy Standards Moves Forward
The House Energy and Commerce Committee has voted to pass the “Affordable HOMES Act” (H.R. 6421). The Affordable HOMES Act repeals Section 413 of the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 and would ensure that the Department of Energy’s (DOE) final rule on Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing will have no force or effect.
Halting implementation of the EISA’s flawed approach and re-affirming HUD’s long-standing exclusive control over federal manufactured housing standards is the best way to ensure the timely adoption of improved energy efficiency standards for factory-built housing in a way that preserves the availability of affordable manufactured homes for Americans.
THA supports the passage of the Affordable HOMES Act and asks you to show your support by going to the MHI Advocacy Action Center and telling your Representative in Congress to support the passage of the “Affordable HOMES Act” (H.R. 6421). Congress must hear from all sectors of the manufactured housing industry about the urgent need to stop DOE overreach.
Connect with your Representative by following the simple steps on MHI's website. MHI wrote a letter that you can send by simply inserting your home address and clicking submit.
NOTICE:
On Friday, August 11th, Representative John Rose (TN-06) introduced H.R. 5198, the Expansion of Attainable Homeownership Through Manufactured Housing Act of 2023. This bill would revise the definition of manufactured housing by removing the phrase “built on a permanent chassis” from the National Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards Act of 1974.
Allowing for the removal of the chassis would allow HUD Code homes to match the profile and exterior aesthetics of other homes. This is particularly noticeable when manufactured homes are placed in communities with predominantly site-built homes. This bill is the result of ongoing advocacy efforts for manufactured housing in Congress and the support of our members.
