Call to Action!

Be Sure that Your Congressional Representative Signed on to Cosponsor H.R. 3327

After successfully delaying the compliance date for the Energy Rule, we need to fix the law to ensure the industry never again faces the challenges caused by conflicting regulations coming from two different federal agencies. Congress must hear from all sectors of the manufactured housing industry about the urgent need to change federal statute.

Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN) and Congresswoman Terri Sewell (D-AL) introduced H.R. 3327, the Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act of 2023. This bipartisan legislation clarifies and reaffirms the longstanding role of HUD as the sole regulator of federal manufactured housing construction standards. This bill will prevent future issues with conflicting standards originating from different federal agencies.

Join the industry's efforts and tell your Representative to support H.R. 3327. To participate in this Call to Action click here and follow the simple steps on MHI's website. MHI created a template letter you can send your Representative by simply inserting your home address and clicking submit.

Thus far, industry members have sent over 340 messages to their representatives. The top states contacting their members of Congress are Texas, Pennsylvania, Florida, Wisconsin, and Louisiana. Thanks to these efforts, twelve additional Representatives have signed on to cosponsors the legislation including Representatives Warren Davidson (OH-8), Charles Fleischmann (TN-3), Mike Rogers (AL-3), Rudy Yakym (IN-2), John Rose (TN-6), Bryan Steil (WI-1), Glenn Thompson (PA-15), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-5), Andy Barr (KY-6), French Hill (AR-2), Tracy Mann (KS-1), and Tim Burchett (TN-2).

New Bill Gives Manufacturers Option to Remove Chassis

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.

Stay Informed

THA is your legislative, regulatory and educational voice for the factory-built industry, here in Tennessee. However, all citizens should participate in the legislative process and stay informed.

Elected officials represent you. For them to best represent your interests, and the interests of the business community, it is important to let them know what you think and how you want them to vote.

One way to influence issues is to build positive relationships with legislators before you need help. The most impactful time to build relationships is when they are candidates, but you can establish a relationship at any time.

Follow the legislator in your district. Go to town halls, participate in public listening sessions, and develop a respectful working relationship with your district Senator or Representative.
