HUD’s Pam Danner draws robust welcome during address at FMHA annual event

cyndi-king-l-pam-danner-r-hud-manufactured-housing-program-address-packed-fmha-annual-meeting=daily-business-news-mhpronews-2 (1)Florida Manufactured Housing Association (FMHA) President Cyndi King introduced the federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Manufactured Housing Program director – Pam Beck Danner, JD – to the FMHA’s packed 2014 annual meeting in Orlando on 10.8.2014.

Danner described the busy 6 months she’s had at HUD, which included no “honeymoon” time for the MH program’s new director.

Danner immediately dug in, with over 100 languishing issues reported by the GAO’s recent report, to start moving them ahead.

The Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) is back on the calendar. Discussions are underway on how HUD can support DOE, FHA and other federal programs in their MH efforts.

The HUD Code Manufactured Housing’s program’s label fee was raised, an unavoidable move, Danner explained, due to the program budget and the law.

Danner said they took HUD MH program staff on a tour of a manufactured home land lease community in VA, to give them a better sense of the modern MHIndustry.

Danner said she has an open door, encourages positive engagement by her staff with the industry, and wants manufactured housing to be as broadly included in other HUD and federal program planning as possible.

Attendees welcomed Danner and her comments with warm, genuine applause. MHI, MHARR and FMHA are among the MH associations which have spoken highly about Danner’s strong industry background, understanding of the issues and thus suitability for her new role at HUD.

Attendance at the upbeat event – which included awards, industry education, mixers and meals – was reportedly up over 20% from 2013. ##
