Tim Williams Encouraged by Regulatory Freeze Ordered by President Trump

I am deeply encouraged that less than 24 hours into President Trump’s term, he has frozen new, potentially burdensome regulations.

The immediate impact assists working people and those on fixed incomes – as well as others of low and moderate income – to realize the dream of affordable manufactured homeownership and cannot be overstated.

Onerous regulations were in the process of adoption by the previous administration that would have added thousands of dollars to the cost of manufactured homes, thus pricing tens of thousands of Americans from realizing the dream of homeownership.

Those regulations range from excessive energy mandates, to overkill foundation rules, as well as needless additional regulation of home construction.

Manufactured homes are the ONLY form of housing where each home is rigorously inspected and approved by government in the design, construction, and home placement process.

The strong existing consumer protections will continue without the regulatory over kill which would have stifled expanded homeownership and cost thousands of construction jobs. ##
