July, 2010 “MHARR Viewpoint” Reprint

MHARR logoIn the MHMSM.com download area please find the reprint copy of the “MHARR VIEWPOINT” article titled “RESTORING THE STATURE AND STATUS OF THE MHCC” published in the July, 2010 issue of the Journal magazine.

A great deal of misinformation has been circulating around the industry regarding the status of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) and recent steps taken by HUD regulators and attorneys that threaten to turn the MHCC into an impotent and irrelevant forum akin to the now-defunct National Manufactured Housing Advisory Council (Advisory Council).

The must-read MHARR Viewpoint article details these ongoing efforts to downgrade the role, authority, functionality and independence of the MHCC, placing them in the context of the background and history of the MHCC as one of the centerpiece reforms of the 2000 law. By tying together the history and development of the MHCC as an independent replacement for the HUD-dominated, rubber-stamp Advisory Council, the column shows just how far recent changes have degraded the MHCC and the extremely negative impacts that these changes will have going forward, unless they are halted and reversed.
