Following MHProNews‘ post Jan. 28, 2016 regarding the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform’s criticism of HUD for increasing the inspection of on-site manufactured homes, which also increases the cost to the consumer, the Sept. 8, 2015 rule is set to take effect March 7, 2016.
Presented during the Louisville Manufactured Housing Show at a Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) meeting in Jan., not one member of the MHCC voted in favor of it.
MHARR says combined with the current AC regulations, the new on-site measures would add “unnecessary on-site procedures and mandates so extensive and costly that they would destroy the ability of manufacturers and retailers to affordably provide consumers with features and amenities they clearly want.”
To this end, MHARR has written a letter to the manufactured housing program Administrator Pamela Danner. The letter is downloaded here.
