Let’s be clear. There are fine firms involved in the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). Then there are firms that are accused by their own customers and residents of being predatory, deceptive, or worse. So, this isn’t about throwing some ‘good apple’ because others have worms. A wormy apple might look fine on one side but turn it around and the worm hole becomes visible. That’s why on MHLivingNews we’ve said for years that consumers must do their homework. With that backdrop, the MHI Excellence and other award winners that ought to be a revealing to researchers, media, public officials, investors that want to work with white hat brands, etc. Because it is folly, hubris, or Wacky Wednesday at its finest to think that an MHI award winner is automatically some fine organization or professional. Sadly, some MHI award winners are begging for a satirical response. MHI Insiders have said that the organization uses the awards as a form of marketing and membership attraction or retention. In reviewing the following, ask yourself if you or your business would want to be associated with this type of behavior?

No one needs to mock MHI. A close look at their own behaviors are a target rich environment – as if they are mocking themselves. ##
