Crossing the Finish Line in DC is up to YOU!

In the next 10 days, the industry has a chance to turn around its fortunes regarding financing.  Step 1 is to pass S 682, the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act.  It’s companion bill, HR 650 has already passed the House on a bi-partisan vote.  In the Senate, there is no chance for our bill to pass as a standalone bill because it will be vetoed.  If however, it is attached to an appropriations bill that must pass, the President will have no choice but to sign it. 

Let me say that again, if S 682 is passed as part of an appropriations bill, the President will sign it.

We need industry members to press for S 682 to be attached as a so-called policy rider.  This is a normal process for getting legislation passed at the end of a session.

Please Call or Fax Your Senators.

Here is the message: 

1. We need S 682, the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act, added as a policy rider to the Banking Appropriations Bill.

2. The bill HR 650 passed the House on a bi-partisan basis.

3. The bill addresses the overreach of the CFPB in applying Dodd-Frank to manufactured housing in a way it doesn’t apply it to real estate agents. ##

(Editor’s Note: MHProNews supports this bill and our publisher has personally contacted his Senators and Congressional Representative, as Ross Kinzler suggests. Joe Kelly’s OpEd on this same topic, is linked here.

For those who want more information, see Lesli Gooch’s column this month, linked here. Ross and Joe are correct, just take 5 now, and let’s get this done.)
