Las Vegas, NV – April 27, 2011.  Joe Stegmayer (Chairman & CEO, Cavco Industries and present Chairman, MHI) addressed the attendees at MHI’s 2011 Congress & Expo in Las Vegas, NV.  He noted that Land Lease Communities (LLCs) have done better than most sectors of the housing industry, which has been confirmed by the optimism expressed at MHI’s National Communities Council (NCC) forum.  The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is a leading advocate for the industry, working cooperatively with law makers in Washington to improve access to affordable housing and improve financing options.  While MHI’s role is to help keep the Industry relevant in Washington, an outside lobbying firm will also make a difference. All can work together to create a bright future.
