The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) reports the Obama Administration’s 2015 budget proposes $10 million to fund the HUD (Housing and Urban Development) Manufactured Housing Construction and Safety Standards program, and HUD intends to increase the label fee to $100 per floor. Under the proposal, as MHProNews .com has learned, instead of justifying any fee increase and asking the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) to consider the change, HUD will seek a legislative change authorizing it to set future fee changes by sending a notice rather than by rulemaking. ##
