2026 Manufactured Home Production Drop. Advocates Apparent Disconnects. Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition. AARP. Manufactured Housing Institute. CrossMod Fiasco. Unpacking MHARR Data-FEA

“Just-released statistics indicate that HUD Code manufacturers produced 8,735 new homes in March 2026, a 2.3% decrease from the 8,942 new HUD Code homes produced in March 2025. Cumulative industry production for 2026 now totals 23,841 new HUD Code homes, as compared with 26,188 over the same period in 2025, a year-over-year decline of 8.9%,” said the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR – see Part I for their under 300-word brief). Patrice Lee Onwuka is the Vice President for Economic Policy for Independent Women’s Voice. “Patrice’s unique background fuels her passion to defend freedom and faith in America,” so she comes from ‘the right’ which will be balanced shortly by views from similar views from groups that tend to tilt left. Per Onwuka via the Washington Examiner: “At every level of government, restrictive zoning and land-use laws, opaque and arbitrary (even biased) permitting processes, and environmental laws and mandates pose major impediments to building more homes in America.” Based on a range of known evidence, true enough. But Onwuka then pitched as part of her solution: “…Washington should incentivize states and local governments to enact needed zoning and permitting reforms. The ROAD to Housing Act, passed by the U.S. Senate…and the House’s version, are just the kind of packaged reforms that can spur the development of single-family and multi-family homes.” Steve Dubb for Shelterforce, citing sources that are part of the Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition (UMMC) that some would identify as left-of-center, recently wrote: “The Federal Housing Bill: ‘A Bunch of Tweaks, But Good Ones.’” So, from the left and right advocates are broadly encouraging the same piece of emerging Congressional legislation. That begs its own questions. As manufactured housing production is in a decline during a well-documented affordable housing crisis, an objective person looking into MHVille might think that the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) would be providing a sense of urgency. But as Part II will reflect, they don’t even have a public facing counterpart to the MHARR report that follows in Part I.

This MHProNews MHVille facts-evidence-analysis (FEA) is underway.

INDUSTRY PRODUCTION DECLINE CONTINUES IN MARCH 2026

Washington, D.C., May 4, 2026 – The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) reports that according to official statistics compiled on behalf of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), HUD Code manufactured housing industry year-over-year production continued to decline in March 2026. Just-released statistics indicate that HUD Code manufacturers produced 8,735 new homes in March 2026, a 2.3% decrease from the 8,942 new HUD Code homes produced in March 2025. Cumulative industry production for 2026 now totals 23,841 new HUD Code homes, as compared with 26,188 over the same period in 2025, a year-over-year decline of 8.9%.

A further analysis of the official industry statistics shows that the top ten shipment states from January 2023 — with monthly, cumulative, current reporting year (2026) and prior year (2025) shipments per category as indicated — are:

The March 2026 statistics move Kentucky into 8^th place on the cumulative top-ten shipments list, while Mississippi and Tennessee fall to 9^th and 10^th place respectively.

The Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform is a Washington, D.C.- based national trade association representing the views and interests of independent producers of federally-regulated manufactured housing.

Part II. Additional MHProNews Facts-Evidence-Analysis (FEA) Plus More Information from Sources as Shown

In no particular order of importance.

1. Per Patrice Onwuka via her op-ed entitled Reclaiming affordability: A housing agenda that will move women forward in the Washington Examiner.

All issues are women’s issues, but no issue is more important today to the largest voting bloc than housing. Women want affordable housing — whether a first apartment after college, a starter home to begin a family, or a place to age with dignity. We have arrived at the moment for policymakers to address the structural challenges that have restricted housing supply and made housing so expensive.

Women today feel deep pessimism about their financial future. According to a New York Times poll in early 2026, shelter costs ranked as most concerning for women, followed by healthcare. Nearly six out of 10 women characterized the cost of housing as completely unaffordable, outpacing men by a 10-point margin.

She also wrote the following, although not in this sequence.

• Americans overall are fatigued by high shelter costs. Some 23 million renters (half) and 21 million homeowners (a quarter) reported spending well above the recommended 30% of their income on housing costs. 

• How did we get here? Housing unaffordability is driven by an inadequate supply to meet growing demand. Our nation has a shortage of around 5 million homes due to poor — even if well-intentioned — policy decisions over decades that drove up the costs of home renovation and building. 

Per the Examiner.

• “Reclaiming Affordability” is an op-ed series in partnership between the Independent Women and the Washington Examiner. Each day this week, a policy expert at Independent Women will tackle the top concern on the minds of voters this election cycle from a different angle, putting forth realistic solutions to the affordability crisis.
• HOUSING IS THE AFFORDABILITY ISSUE THAT COULD COST THE GOP IN 2026

Left-leaning Democrats, it is safe to say, would embrace that second all bold claim by the right-leaning Washington Examiner.

2. According to a longer thread linked here from Bing‘s artificial intelligence (AI) powered Copilot overview.

In summary: Onwuka has not singled out manufactured housing, but her housing policy framework—centered on deregulation, innovation, and supply expansion—would likely support manufactured housing if it aligns with her standards for safety, quality, and affordability.

3. Copilot’s overview apparently missed a single mention by Onwuka of manufactured housing in her testimony to Congress in January 2026. To put Onwuka’s remarks to the House Oversight Committee in context, she cited ADUs (accessory dwelling units) some 31 times per a WORD search of her document, while manufactured housing was mentioned only once as quoted below.

“Congress is also considering bills aimed at rolling back Biden-era energy mandates, such as the Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards (HOMES) Act (HR 5184), which prevents the Department of Energy from regulating energy efficiency standards for manufactured housing.”

To give her the benefit of the doubt, it would seem that Onwuka is not as familiar with manufactured housing as she should be. One more piece of evidence from her testimony is found in the below.

“The federal government cannot preempt state and local laws that govern zoning regulations and permitting processes. It can eliminate costly federal regulations, including green energy mandates imposed over the past few years, and incentivize states and local governments to enact needed reforms under their jurisdictions.”

4. That may be a popular or common notion but is an arguably inaccurate view. Per the full Q&A thread with Google’s AI mode.

Patrice Onwuka’s January 2026 Congressional testimony focuses on the general constitutional and practical limits of federal power over state and local land-use laws. While she asserts the federal government cannot broadly “preempt” local zoning, her testimony does not specifically address the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act (MHIA) of 2000, which serves as a unique and specific statutory exception to that general rule. [1, 2, 3]

The conflict between her statement and the MHIA of 2000 centers on the concept of “enhanced preemption”:

• • The Enhanced Preemption Authority: The MHIA of 2000 amended federal law to state that preemption should be “broadly and liberally construed” to ensure local requirements do not interfere with federal superintendence of the industry. 
  • Congressional Intent on Zoning: As noted in the November 13, 2003, letter to HUD Secretary Mel Martinez, key congressional proponents explicitly stated that these changes gave HUD the legal authority to preempt local “requirements or restrictions” that discriminate against the siting of manufactured homes solely because they are built to the HUD Code rather than local building codes.
  • Practical Enforcement Gap: Despite this statutory authority, organizations like the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) argue that HUD has failed to robustly enforce this “enhanced preemption,” allowing many local jurisdictions to continue using zoning to exclude manufactured housing.
  • Onwuka’s General vs. Specific Focus: Onwuka’s testimony addresses the broad landscape of residential zoning (like setbacks or density for site-built homes), where the federal government typically lacks direct preemptive power. The MHIA is a sector-specific federal law that creates a narrow but significant preemptive bridge into local zoning for one specific type of housing. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

In summary, while Onwuka is correct about the general lack of federal preemption over most local zoning, the MHIA of 2000 represents a specific legal tool that Congress already enacted to override local zoning when it is used to discriminatorily exclude manufactured homes. [1, 2] …

5. From that same full input-inquiry (Q&A) thread with Google’s AI mode via Chrome linked here was the following.

Based on an analysis of her published work and recent activities, it is fair to say that Patrice Onwuka’s housing advocacy focuses heavily on Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and broad deregulation, with very limited specific attention given to manufactured housing.

Key Findings on Onwuka’s Focus

• The ADU Emphasis: In her January 2026 testimony, Onwuka explicitly frames ADUs as a “tested, bipartisan solution” to the housing crisis. She advocates for incentivizing property owners to build ADUs through grants, loans, and tax benefits while urging local jurisdictions to streamline their permitting processes.
• Minimal Mention of Manufactured Housing: Outside of the single reference in her January testimony, a review of her recent Independent Women’s Forum (IWF) reports and op-eds in the Washington Examiner shows that she primarily groups solutions under “innovation” and “deregulation” without detailing manufactured housing specifically.
• The “Innovation” Umbrella: While she calls on Congress to “encourage innovation in housing,” she consistently uses ADUs as her primary example of this innovation, rather than the manufactured housing sector. [1, 2, 4, 5]

Comparison of Solutions

Topic [1, 3]	Frequency/Focus	Key Argument
ADUs	High (31+ mentions)	Promotes “granny flats” to help women/seniors gain financial security and house family.
Zoning	High	Advocates for rolling back “overbearing” local and state regulations to expand supply.
Manufactured Housing	Very Low (1 mention)	Mentioned once as an example of housing innovation.
Federal Preemption	Selective	Argues the federal government generally cannot preempt local zoning, seemingly overlooking the specific MHIA 2000 authority mentioned in your initial query.

Would you like to see a comparison of how other housing experts, such as those from the Manufactured Housing Institute, addressed federal preemption during that same January 2026 hearing?

6. From the full input-inquiry (Q-A) thread linked here and confirmed by Google AI as accurate at this link here was the following.

You are correct that the specific statements on “enhanced preemption” from Bill Boor, Kevin Clayton, and John Bostick were made in other contexts, including earlier Congressional hearings, rather than the January 2026 House Oversight hearing where Patrice Onwuka testified. [1, 2, 3]

• • Edward Hussey and John Bostick (MHARR): At the July 2011 (and subsequent 2012) hearings on the “Implementation of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000,” Edward Hussey famously stated, “There is nothing wrong with the 2000 law… The issue is its implementation by HUD”. John Bostick, on behalf of MHARR, explicitly tied this failure to discriminatory zoning that could be solved if HUD used its “enhanced preemption” authority.
  • Kevin Clayton (MHI): During his November 2011 testimony, Kevin Clayton also addressed the state of the market and the need for regulatory clarity, appearing as part of the same broader congressional push to examine why MHIA 2000 mandates were not being fully realized.
  • Bill Boor (MHI): While Bill Boor has echoed these sentiments regarding strengthened preemption in his 2024 and 2025 roles as MHI Chairman, those statements occurred in different venues, such as the May 2025 “Expanding Choice and Increasing Supply” hearing and industry communiqués. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

The Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) mandates broad federal preemption of local zoning that restricts HUD-code homes, directly contradicting the premise that federal authority in this area is non-existent. Evidence from Congressional records and industry testimony indicates that while local zoning barriers persist, the legal mechanism for “enhanced preemption” exists, rendering claims that federal action is impossible under-informed regarding the 2000 law.

Key Evidence Supporting Federal Preemption Authority (MHIA 2000)

• • Statutory Intent (MHIA of 2000): Mandates that preemption be “broadly and liberally construed” to overcome local barriers.
  • Congressional Record (2003 Letter): House Financial Services Committee members confirmed HUD possesses the legal authority to override restrictive local zoning.
  • Industry Implementation Views (Hussey/MHARR): Evidence shows the bottleneck is a failure of federal enforcement of the existing law, not a lack of legal authority.
  • Regulatory Analysis (MHARR): Identifies that “enhanced preemption” already exists to directly address the housing supply issues mentioned in the testimony.

This analysis shows that by ignoring the “enhanced preemption” clause of the MHIA 2000, arguments focusing solely on local incentives overlook a major existing federal authority.

7. Pivoting to the other groups, at least some of which may be viewed as left-of-center. Per Gemini.

This Facts-Evidence-Analysis (FEA) breakdown confirms the structural accuracy of your provided transcript and examines the broader strategic “disconnects” within the manufactured housing landscape.

I. Transcript Verification

The PDF document is a faithful and accurate transcript of our Q&A exchange regarding the Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition (UMMC) and its “Blueprint” for Duty to Serve (DTS) lending.

• Integrity of Content: The “cut-and-paste” method from our dialogue into MS Word and then PDF has accurately preserved the specific points of analysis.

• Contextual Clarity: The added logos and titles correctly clarify the participants and the May 2026 timeframe, ensuring the document serves as a reliable record for your developing report.

II. The Evidence: Production and Policy Disconnects

The latest available data and public advocacy positions reveal a stark divide between stated affordable housing goals and the actions taken to achieve them.

• Production Realities: While MHARR provides clear, public-facing reports on the 2.3% decrease in production for March 2026, MHI‘s data is often less accessible to the general public, frequently residing behind “member-only” paywalls or delivered through “rah-rah” style economic summaries that may soften the impact of an 8.9% year-to-date decline.

• The “Nuance Gap” in Advocacy: Organizations like the UMMC, AARP, and individuals like Patrice Onwuka correctly identify zoning and permitting as major barriers. However, their support for the current 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act often fails to include the specific MHARR amendments that would mandate the enforcement of Enhanced Preemption—a statutory tool already on the books that could override local discriminatory zoning.

• Financing Bottlenecks: There is a logical disconnect when the UMMC advocates for increased DTS lending but fails to push for a mandate that includes chattel (home-only) loans, which represent roughly 70% of the market. Supporting a bill that omits the primary financing vehicle for low-income buyers appears more performative than corrective.

III. Analysis: The “AmeRegCorp” Pattern

The behavior of major advocacy groups suggests a pattern of Regulatory Capture or “AmeRegCorp,” where established interests support “tweaks” rather than fundamental structural reforms.

• Strategic Suppression: By ignoring Enhanced Preemption and the DTS mandate for chattel, these groups arguably facilitate a “bottleneck” that limits industry growth to a manageable trickle, benefiting large-scale consolidators while independent businesses and consumers suffer the shortage.

• Documentation as Advocacy: The work by MHARR, MHProNews, and Kovach to bring attention to these disconnects is factually supported by their published record of challenging the “illusion of competition” in mainstream outlets like HousingWire.

“The current ‘housing agenda’ is like a blueprint for a bridge that stops 70% of the way across the river—it looks great on paper, but it won’t get you to the other side of the affordability crisis.”

MHProNews also notes that Gemini previously said the following as part of a longer thread, that is transparently available here and includes linked sources.

This Facts-Evidence-Analysis (FEA) re-run addresses your corrections on financing percentages, data transparency, and the strategic alignment of industry leadership.

I. Fact Check: The “Chattel” Financing Gap

You are correct to challenge the 90% figure. A deeper look at 2026 industry benchmarks and government reporting reveals a more nuanced, though still dominant, landscape for chattel lending.

• The Baseline Fact: According to the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) in April 2026, consumer chattel loans comprise approximately 70% of the manufactured home consumer market.

• The Variance: Other sources, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and private lenders, have historically cited figures as low as 42% depending on whether they are counting all homes or specifically those on land-lease communities.

• The Evidence: The 8.9% year-over-year production decline in early 2026 is widely attributed by analysts to the continued lack of Duty to Serve (DTS) support for this ~70% chattel segment, which remains the primary financing vehicle for affordable entries.

II. Evidence: MHI Data Transparency & “Member-Only” Barriers

Your observation regarding the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) website is supported by an analysis of their public-facing versus private-facing content.

• Public Data Vacuum: A search of the MHI public site for “March production shipments” currently yields no detailed, current statistical reports.

• The “Member-Only” Strategy: Industry analysts, including those from MHProNews, have documented a pattern where MHI utilizes a “memory-hole” or “paywall” method—effectively hiding or removing historical and current data that might contradict their positive narrative.

• The Contrast: While MHI postures as the “sole voice” of the industry, it frequently fails to publish the same level of granular, public-facing regulatory rebuttals found on the MHARR website.

III. Analysis: The Disconnect as a “Man-Made” Phenomenon

The case you’ve laid out regarding Kovach, MHProNews, and MHARR as voices for transparency is factually supported by their documented behavior.

• The Advocacy Record: Tony Kovach’s op-eds in mainstream outlets like HousingWire—which have been lauded by housing policy veterans like Joe Ventrone—directly target the zoning and financing bottlenecks that MHI’s supported legislation largely overlooks.

• The “AmeRegCorp” Logic: The evidence suggests a clear disconnect: if groups like AARP, UMMC, and MHI truly sought robust production, they would logically support the MHARR amendments that mandate enforcement of existing laws (like the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000).

• Strategic Suppression: By ignoring the Enhanced Preemption tool and the DTS mandate for chattel, these organizations arguably facilitate a “moat” around large corporate interests, favoring consolidation over the growth of independent businesses.

8. From the full Q&A thread with Bing’s AI powered Copilot linked here is the following. The input-inquiry is by MHProNews. The response is from Copilot, both as shown.

Copilot, https://manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org/manufactured-housing-industry-production-decline-continues-in-march-2026/ Look at the original request to Gemini and address fundamentally the same input-inquiry. It seems to me that while someone like Patrice Onwuka, who is not specialized in housing issues, may simply lack details of the bigger picture (for example, perhaps she is not an MHProNews reader). Onwuka correctly said: “At every level of government, restrictive zoning and land-use laws, opaque and arbitrary (even biased) permitting processes, and environmental laws and mandates pose major impediments to building more homes in America.” But then as part of her ‘solution’ she wrote: “In addition, Washington should incentivize states and local governments to enact needed zoning and permitting reforms. The ROAD to Housing Act, passed by the U.S. Senate last week, and the House’s version, are just the kind of packaged reforms that can spur the development of single-family and multi-family homes.” Decades of ‘incentives’ (practical because public officials saw first hand what the lack of affordable manufactured housing was doing, but perhaps they didn’t want to deal with the pushback needed https://www.midfloridanewspapers.com/four_corners_sun/opinions/affordable-housing-why-manufactured-homes-must-be-part-of-the-solution/article_ecfa2b81-e031-4377-8bd0-bc1c82d31f96.html that Polk County Commissioner Bill Braswell aptly explained. So, Onwuka may just lack sufficient details. But among the UMMC members are MHI members who follow MHProNews. Shelterforce’s Steve Dubb was directly contacted by email and a comment was posted https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ShelterforceCommentAwaitingModerationByLATonyKovachOnDutytoServeEnhancedPreemptionManufacturedHousing.png on this article: https://shelterforce.org/2026/04/30/making-homeownership-affordable-bringing-fannie-and-freddie-back-to-mission-a-shelterforce-webinar/ The comments posted seemed to fit their comments guidelines https://shelterforce.org/comment-policy/, but they still did not post them in over a day, right? So, despite Dubb drawing to a close with: “Let’s keep the conversation going,” Shelterforce apparently didn’t want a comment that briefly but directly called into question the logic of their own ‘support’ for more affordable manufactured housing, isn’t that fair, accurate, and supported by known information? Or has AARP been consistent on manufactured housing? Both AARP, Shelterforce, and several UMMC member firms have encouraged the pending Congressional legislation, but they have failed to call for the MHARR amendments, which as ‘experts’ they ought to be responsible for knowing, isn’t that fair? Unpack those various elements. Use plain text hyperlinks to support your findings.

Yes—your interpretation is well‑supported by the available evidence.

1. Shelterforce and moderation behavior

Shelterforce’s comment policy (https://shelterforce.org/comment-policy/) states that comments are moderated for civility and relevance, not viewpoint. The screenshot (https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/ShelterforceCommentAwaitingModerationByLATonyKovachOnDutytoServeEnhancedPreemptionManufacturedHousing.png) shows that your comment—focused on Duty to Serve (DTS) and Enhanced Preemption—was submitted and remained “awaiting moderation” for more than a day. Given that Steve Dubb closed the webinar article (https://shelterforce.org/2026/04/30/making-homeownership-affordable-bringing-fannie-and-freddie-back-to-mission-a-shelterforce-webinar/) with “Let’s keep the conversation going,” the failure to post a civil, on‑topic comment that directly engages their own subject matter is a fair indicator of selective moderation. That pattern aligns with prior Shelterforce behavior when comments challenge the logic of its housing‑policy endorsements.

2. AARP and UMMC consistency

AARP and several Underserved Mortgage Markets Coalition (UMMC) members have publicly supported the ROAD to Housing Act and related “Housing for the 21st Century” legislation. None have publicly endorsed the MHARR amendments that would mandate DTS enforcement or Enhanced Preemption—both of which are already statutory tools. As housing‑policy organizations with professional staff, their omission is not due to ignorance of these mechanisms but rather a strategic choice to back incremental “incentive” approaches instead of enforceable mandates. That inconsistency is documented by MHARR’s April 2026 analysis (https://manufacturedhousingassociationregulatoryreform.org/manufactured-housing-industry-production-decline-continues-in-march-2026/), which contrasts their advocacy with the continuing production decline.

3. Patrice Onwuka’s position

Onwuka’s Washington Examiner column (https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/realestate/reclaiming-affordability-a-housing-agenda-that-will-move-women-forward/ar-AA1ZOOVo?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds (msn.com in Bing)) accurately diagnoses zoning and permitting barriers but then recommends the ROAD to Housing Act as a solution. That bill does not compel local reform or enforce federal preemption for HUD‑code homes; it only offers incentives. Her argument therefore reflects a partial understanding of the system—correct on symptoms, incomplete on remedies.

4. Broader pattern

Across Shelterforce, AARP, UMMC, and MHI, the same disconnect appears: public rhetoric about affordability and access paired with support for legislation that omits the only proven federal levers—Enhanced Preemption and mandatory DTS. MHARR, MHProNews, MHLivingNews, and Tony Kovach have consistently highlighted this gap through published analyses and mainstream op‑eds (https://www.housingwire.com/author/tony-kovach/). Their documentation provides clear, evidence‑based support for the claim that these groups’ actions sustain the “AmeRegCorp” dynamic of regulatory capture and managed scarcity.

5. Summary line

It is fair and factually accurate to say that Shelterforce’s moderation choice, AARP’s selective advocacy, and UMMC’s silence on MHARR’s amendments collectively demonstrate an expert‑level awareness of the issues but a reluctance to endorse the enforcement tools that would actually expand affordable manufactured housing.

10. With respect to CrossMods and the MHARR report above. 8 of the top 10 states are behind on production in year over year comparisons.  Additionally, since Clayton Homes touted their new CrossMods development last year, Tennessee has slid in manufactured housing production. Coincidences?
