HUD CODE PRODUCTION INCREASES IN MARCH 2021

 

Washington, D.C., May 3, 2021 – 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 increased in March 2021. Just-released statistics indicate that HUD Code manufacturers produced 10,008 homes in March 2021, a 20% increase over the 8,338 new HUD Code homes produced during March 2020. Cumulative production for 2021 now totals 26,479 homes, a 4.6% increase over the 25,311 homes produced during the same period in 2020.

A further analysis of the official industry statistics shows that the top ten shipment states from the beginning of the industry production rebound in August 2011 through March 2021  — with cumulative, monthly, current year (2021) and prior year (2020) shipments per category as indicated — are:

Additional Information, MHProNews Analysis, and Commentary

MHProNews and our MHLivingNews sister-site receive a steady stream of feedback from industry professionals, others outside of manufactured homes that are looking into industry related issues, public officials, mobile and manufactured homeowners, consumers, media, academics and others.

That feedback runs the gamut from encouraging, demeaning, questioning, etc. All such feedback is considered. Negative feedback that provides specifics (as opposed to mere name calling without specifics) are often useful. For instance. If a negative comment gives examples of what is deemed problematic and why, that can be useful. Those inputs are considered in writing future reports.  Similarly, while thank you type comments are appreciated, what is far more useful are those comments that also shares specifics as to what was helpful in a report and why.

MHProNews and our MHLivingNews sister site have undergone several evolutionary steps since their inceptions. Those changes were and are based on the ongoing development of information, facts, evidence, accurate quotes, expert analysis, along with feedback.

The most recent data is in a sense no surprise. In fact, it is long overdue. After all, mainstream single family housing has been surging for years. Statements from MHI member Gary Shiffman led Sun Communities Inc (SUI) and related MHProNews analysis sheds light on those points.

So too have RVs and multifamily housing. Once more, see the reports linked above and below.

Additionally, someone must consider what is occurring from the public perspective, which should also be viewed in the light of facts, trends, and evidence.

After months of hard-hitting reports and analysis by MHProNews and our MHLivingNews sister site, it was time for the powers that be in manufactured housing to respond in a fashion that might deflect the heat generated by reports like those found from this page.

What will be interesting is this. After months of MHI ducking on this switch from a previously 2.5 year trend of a mostly declines in shipments, will they now come out and claim credit for this surge? Time will tell. But either way, this is arguably one more example of the reality that fact-based pushback and evidence-based reporting and analysis pay off.

All on Capitol Hill were welcoming and interested with the discussion of manufactured housing related issues on our 12.3.2019 meetings. But Texas Congressman Al Green’s office was tremendous in their hospitality. Our son’s hand is on a package that included the Constitution of the United States and other goodies.
