The FAQ questions and answers now correspond with, repeat and mirror HUD assertions contained in a June 22, 2010 letter to Congress (<a href=\"\/downloads\/mharr\/HUDs-June-22-2010-and-MHARRs-July-22-2010-Letters.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">download copy<\/a>), which purport to justify and rationalize its failure, over the course of ten years, to fully and properly implement <u>key reform aspects<\/u> of the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000.<\/p>\n<p>In the wake of HUD&#8217;s June 22, 2010 letter to Congress, which set out a number of new, revised and altered arguments for continuing efforts by program regulators and attorneys to avoid and neutralize the reforms of the 2000 law, Congress requested MHARR to submit a point-by-point response, which the Association did on July 22, 2010 (copy also attached).  This response not only refutes HUD&#8217;s core arguments on each issue addressed, but also highlights factual errors and incorrect assumptions underlying various HUD positions &ndash; such as those pertaining to the crucial role and authority of the Manufactured Housing Consensus Committee (MHCC) &ndash; which HUD has systematically downgraded and undermined in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Because HUD&#8217;s June 22, 2010 letter had been directed to Congress, in response to a specific congressional inquiry regarding the implementation of key aspects of the 2000 reform law, MHARR had similarly directed its point-by-point industry response and refutation specifically to Congress.  Now, though, that HUD is extensively publicizing the assertions contained in its June 22, 2010 letter &ndash; casting those assertions as the supposed final word on the 2000 reform law implementation issues that they address, with no indication that those assertions have been disputed and refuted &ndash; industry members and all those with an interest in affordable manufactured housing should be aware that: (1) those assertions and contentions are strongly disputed; (2) that there is an industry response and counter to each of HUD&#8217;s assertions; and (3) that HUD Code manufacturers will continue &ndash; and will intensify &ndash; their efforts to ensure that all such reforms are, in fact, fully and properly implemented, in order to complete the transition of the industry&#8217;s homes to legitimate and affordable housing for millions of American families, sharing <u>full parity<\/u> with all other types of housing.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, to balance the public record on this matter and to correct any misperceptions that may arise from HUD&#8217;s non-acknowledgement of a contrary industry position on each of the issues now addressed in the FAQs, MHARR feels obligated to provide you with a copy of both <a href=\"\/downloads\/mharr\/HUDs-June-22-2010-and-MHARRs-July-22-2010-Letters.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">HUD&#8217;s June 22, 2010 letter and the July 22, 2010 industry response to Congress<\/a>.
