Struggles to make \u201cPlant A Home,\u201d a pro-manufactured housing program a reality has been embraced by some but not all town leaders.\u00a0 Over time, I&#8217;ve read many articles on their websites that allege MHI and their &#8216;state affiliates&#8217; of posturing but not delivering on issues like ours. I believe it is only fair and proper that you also have an opportunity to weigh in on behalf of Plant A Home and the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 regarding its enhanced preemption provision as it applies here in Ayden and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>We recently had insights and feedback from the top attorney at a legal nonprofit. One of the questions that arose could be paraphrased like this. Have you contacted the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) to see if they would provide you, the Taft family, and others like them with the support you need?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalmortgagenews.com\/opinion\/breaking-through-local-resistance-to-manufactured-housing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nationalmortgagenews.com\/opinion\/breaking-through-local-resistance-to-manufactured-housing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As an elected public official that happens to be black, I believe MHI is missing out on a great opportunity to breathe new life into tens of millions of Americans of all backgrounds and aspirations. To own a manufactured home is the only shot these families will ever have at the American Dream.<\/p>\n<p>We need MHI and\/or the NC-MHA.org to use its legal resources and influence to help us in Ayden make the enhanced preemption that MHI CEO Dr. Lesli Gooch said should be enforced a reality. Will you do so? Anything you can do within the range of your powers to help us with be greatly appreciated.

It is our understanding the Ms.\u00a0Gooch\u00a0has told Rev Mewborn that\u00a0MHI\u00a0is in \u2018alignment\u2019 with his efforts to get their town\u2019s other leaders to formally recognize and honor the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act of 2000 (MHIA) \u201cenhanced preemption\u201d provision. It is also MHProNews\u2019 understanding that Rev Mewborn asked for a specific commitment to make clear to Ayden officials that\u00a0MHI\u00a0is willing to use your legal resources to make enforcement of \u201cenhanced preemption\u201d there a reality.<\/p>\n<p>While Ms.\u00a0Gooch\u00a0has purportedly doubled down on the \u201calignment\u201d statement, it is our information that there has been no contact between her, others involved at\u00a0MHI, and municipal leadership.<\/p>\n<p>While\u00a0MHI\u00a0is welcome to weigh in on any of the topics linked below, we plan on doing a report on this in the near term. Please advise\u00a0MHI\u2019s specific statement and stances on advancing racial equity for the minority and other modest income citizens of Ayden and beyond that want a manufactured home.

The Masthead may explore some off the record insights in a planned follow up.<\/p>\n<p>In our experience, the Rev. Mewborn is a classy gentleman. He is not likely to wag his finger more than he did in the above. But it is fair to observe that Gooch-MHI could well be accused of posturing and hypocrisy, based on the content of her statements vs. their actual actions.<\/p>\n<p>Mewborn cited Gooch\u2019s racial equity op-ed to National Mortgage News. When given an opportunity to support what she claims she and MHI want, she has apparently mouthed nice words, but has done nothing of pragmatic value.<\/p>\n<p>If that changes, MHProNews will plan a follow up report to reflect such a development. But at this point in time, MHI is quite in line with what MHARR\u2019s Danny Ghorbani aptly observed in 2021. Namely, MHI is posturing and preening, without doing or having a track record of accomplishment under Gooch and MHI 2.0\u2019s so-called leadership.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/LesliGoochPhotoManufacturedHousingInstituteLogoQuoteHUDMustUseItsEnhancedPreemptionAuthorityManufacturedHousingImprovementAct2000FederalEnhancedPreemptionforManufacturedHomes.jpg\" width=\"591\" height=\"383\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/ghorbani-nails-zoning-answers-to-how-and-who\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/OvercomeZoningFinancingWoesPostProductionRepMoreThanMeetingsTalkingPointsEngagePhotoOpsPublishNewslettersFullBraggadocioBoastsBereftTangibleResultsQuoteDannyGhorbaniPhotoMHProNews.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"362\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/ghorbani-nails-zoning-answers-to-how-and-who\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i> https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/ghorbani-nails-zoning-answers-to-how-and-who\/ <\/i><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"JX1i9fwNKb\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/shell-game-affordable-manufactured-home-threats-on-steriods-exclusive-probe-into-manufactured-housing-industrys-twin-crises-a-one-on-one-interview-with-mharr\/\">\u201cShell Game\u201c Affordable Manufactured Home Threats \u201cOn Steroids\u201c &#8211; Exclusive Probe into Manufactured Housing Industry&#8217;s Twin Crises &#8212; a One-on-One Interview with MHARR President and CEO, Mark Weiss<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;\u201cShell Game\u201c Affordable Manufactured Home Threats \u201cOn Steroids\u201c &#8211; Exclusive Probe into Manufactured Housing Industry&#8217;s Twin Crises &#8212; a One-on-One Interview with MHARR President and CEO, Mark Weiss&#8221; &#8212; Masthead L.
