Letter from MHARR’s Danny Ghorbani to MHMSM.com’s Tony Kovach

Tony,

Thanks for sharing the below announcement…and you are correct, as we, too, have noticed lately that the rest of the industry is coming closer to the MHARR’s well-established priorities in the Nation’s Capital (i.e., full and proper implementation of the industry’s three existing reform laws, namely, the FHA — public consumer financing — and the Duty to Serve — private consumer financing –segments of the 2008 HERA law, as well as the 2000 reform law) for halting and reversing the ongoing decline of the industry…and MHARR wholeheartedly welcomes this development.

And, too, the announcement is correct about the Congress’ recognition of our industry…..in the 2000 Reform Law. This “recognition”, however, will be fully achieved when all reform provisions of the 2000 law are fully and properly implemented, which, as MHARR has documented in greater details time and again, has not been the case since the inception of the law in 2000. Thus, it is a bit disappointing that the full and proper implementation of the 2000 Law (which would fully and comprehensively transform our industry from trailer to housing) is not part and parcel of the announced priorities. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that as important as “standards updates” and “protection of preemption” are to both the federal program and the industry, they are but merely two of a myriad of interconnected and interactive reform provisions of the 2000 Law, which have not been fully and properly implemented after ten years.

All that said, this is a welcomed step by the rest of the industry, and MHARR looks forward to assist, foster and advance industry consensus views, and corresponding positions, on these important matters in the Nation’s Capital.

Thank you again…and, hopefully, you wouldn’t mind my sharing this with our members.

Danny
