MHI has even demonstrated White House access during the Trump Administration. Examples of that access to Congressional representatives and other federal officials are illustrated in a video included in the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) emailed update on Wednesday, July 13, 2022. To restate and underscore, perhaps the most important feature in that recent MHI email to their members was that it included \u2018video opportunities\u2019 with various public officials \u2013 which demonstrates their access to high-level Washington, D.C. elected and appointed officials. That begs the question.<\/p><div id=\"manuf-921983391\" class=\"manuf-content manuf-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3870480136270376\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3870480136270376\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>What has MHI done for the manufactured housing industry with their demonstrated access?<\/p>\n<p>By examining MHI\u2019s most recent email, that timely question can be asked and answered. Because MHI has themselves admitted that the industry faces a downturn if the DOE manufactured housing energy rule is put into effect. Not only has MHI made that assertion, but an MHI state affiliate in the largest manufactured housing producing state in the nation has made a similar point. More on that further below.<\/p>\n<p>That introduction helps frame the text below provided by a tipster who shared the recent MHI email. The top emailed MHI \u2018news\u2019 item to their members.

The three HUD Code homes showcased on the National Mall have now been sited in manufactured housing land-lease communities where three families were able to achieve the American Dream of homeownership.<\/p>\n<p>HUD Secretary Marcia Fudge, FHFA Director Sandra Thompson, members of Congress and many other leaders from across the federal government were impressed by the quality, design, and attainable price point of our homes. Above is a recap video highlighting all the action that took place. MHI will continue to amplify the success of this event over the coming months with policymakers and encourages you to share\u00a0<u>these videos<\/u>\u00a0as well.\u201d ##<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Facts and MHProNews Analysis and Commentary<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ironically, MHI has apparently stopped posting their videos on <em>YouTube.<\/em> There is no visible evidence that they posted the video noted above on YouTube &#8211; certainly not on the MHI page there. But the video below from HUD that features an MHI leader was found via a search on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the takeaway? If MHI posted their videos on YouTube, or some other website &#8211; that could make sharing their content on other manufactured housing websites \u2013 think producers, retailers, communities, finance, or other websites \u2013 possible. Such a strategy is commonly used by other video producers. Meaning, it could increase the reach of the MHI videos.<\/p>\n<p>But instead of following that routine pattern employed by others, MHI apparently wants people to share<em> their <\/em>website and <em>their<\/em> webpage.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, MHI apparently wants manufactured home industry professionals to see their emailed video recap. By including that in their email, it not-so-subtlely shows MHI leaders hob-knobbing with public officials \u2013 i.e. posturing.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, HUD didn\u2019t do what MHI did. Rather, HUD posted a video on MHI President Mark Bowersox.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T22_6wX__z4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The HUD video reveals something else that MHI may be seeking to avoid in posting their video on YouTube. HUD\u2019s low priority for this effort is reflected in the lack of a news media release that featured their video above. When<em> MHProNews<\/em> first looked at the HUD video featuring MHI President Mark Bowersox, weeks after this video was posted on June 28, 2022, there were a total of 80 people mid-afternoon on 7.14.2022.<\/p>\n<p>Ponder that miniscule level of engagement\/views of the HUD\/MHI\u2019s Bowersox video.<\/p>\n<p>Congress has 535 elected members, and thousands of staffers.<\/p>\n<p>HUD has thousands of employees.<\/p>\n<p>MHI claims 1000 members that has thousands of employees.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, that 80 views occurred in the first weeks is effectively a yawn from public officials, industry members, and beyond to the HUD\/MHI video message.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>But note the cozy relationship between MHI and HUD that this video reflects?<\/li>\n<li>When did HUD invite a MHARR leader for a similar video interview?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Given previously low engagement with MHI videos, are they avoiding YouTube so that fact-checkers (such as MHProNews\/MHLivingNews) won\u2019t know how few views have occurred on MHI\u2019s digital films?<\/p>\n<p>Next, MHI\u2019s 7.13.2022 \u2018newsletter\u2019 also asked for support to \u201cTake Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_19240\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-19240\" style=\"width: 118px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/QuoteSignSymbol100x156.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-19240\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/QuoteSignSymbol100x156.png\" alt=\"QuoteSignSymbol100x156\" width=\"118\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/QuoteSignSymbol100x156.png 100w, https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/QuoteSignSymbol100x156-96x150.png 96w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 118px) 100vw, 118px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-19240\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><i>A word for word quotation from the MHI email dated 7.13.2022. <\/i><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><strong>Ask Your Representative to Cosponsor H.R. 7651 to Ensure DOE\u2019s Manufactured Housing Energy Efficiency Standards Do Not Hurt Homeownership Affordability<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Nearly 700 industry professionals have already called on their House Representatives to cosponsor, H.R. 7651, \u201cThe Manufactured Housing Affordability and Energy Efficiency Act\u201d introduced by Representatives David Kustoff (TN-08) and John Bucshon (IN-08), which ensures the DOE\u2019s final rule on new manufactured housing energy efficiency standards does not harm manufactured homeownership affordability.

That means that MHI is de facto coming down in support of \u2018predatory\u2019 behavior by several of their larger brands. That in turn contradicts their own so-called Code of Ethical Conduct. A recent example of that is found below.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/ross-partrich-ceo-of-rhp-properties-responds-to-resident-complaints-reported-by-mainstream-media-mhpronews-fact-packed-exclusive-plus-manufactured-home-stocks-markets-update\/<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>5. MHI admits that a partial victory obtained during the Trump Administration on a measure supported by MHARR is now threatened with a roll-back under in Congress by allies of the so-called Biden junta. This demonstrates that Democrats have increasingly become the party of the elites who posture policies that sound good for minorities and those with more modest incomes, but are in fact lining the pocks of their wealthy backers instead. More on that in a recent instance is shown below.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/f-word-william-bill-gates-iii-updates-his-warren-buffetts-multi-billion-dollar-plans-gates-talks-buffett-more-in-own-words-philanthro-capitalism-plus-manufactured\/<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>6.

The stance by the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR), while logical, has served to illustrate MHI\u2019s failure to deliver on their claim of representing \u201call segments\u201d of manufactured housing.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/political-payoffs-modular-home-builders-association-mhba-compared-to-manufactured-housing-institute-mhi-on-biden-plan-turns-american-dream-into-american-nightm\/<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Years of MHARR alerts and concerns are being demonstrated in living color. Even non-producers owe a debt of gratitude to MHARR for a steady stream of reliable reports that have provided the industry with alerts and evidence of concerns.\u00a0 MHARR has been revealed to be the primary reason why the DOE energy rule has been successfully delayed so long, and MHI has been revealed by MHARR as being the reason that the DOE energy rule has and continues to plague the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Touting Public Officials Praising Manufactured Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute, Ironically, Urges, \u2018Take Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements\u2019, HR 7651, Facts &amp; Analysis, Dept of Energy, DOE Manufactured Housing Energy Rule,<\/p>\n<p>That said, the time for next steps may be rapidly approaching. MHARR has done more than their job in warning the industry, because they are a production-focused association, not a post-production and\/or production\/umbrella focused association as MHI claims to be. Without legal and related action, in a matter of months, producers of HUD Code manufactured homes will have little or no choice but to begin to comply with the DOE mandate that will take effect in about 10\u00bd months.<\/p>\n<p><em>MHProNews<\/em> supports and encourages the notion of a new post-production trade group being formed, one that authentically advocates for \u2018all segments\u2019 of the post-production sector and can work in tandem with MHARR to stop harmful regulations such as the DOE energy rule. It should also work in conjunction with MHARR to cause the full and proper implementation of good existing laws that MHI has apparently allowed to languish and which MHI admits has not been properly enforced. See the MHI CEO Gooch quotations, posted and linked from the above.<\/p>\n<p>One more possible takeaway? MHI board members should be considered for legal action for their apparent failure to act on behalf of \u2018all segments\u201d of the industry. They may be guilty of a range of legal violations that could include felony violations of RICO and antitrust laws.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomelivingnews.com\/strommen-felony-conspiracy-case-monopolization-of-affordable-manufactured-housing-and-manufactured-home-communities-rube-goldberg-machine-of-human-suff\/<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned to<em> MHProNews<\/em> for ongoing reports and related analysis that pulls back the veil on the facts and realities that are occurring that impact manufactured housing. \u00a0###<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"Eusr6umfYa\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.manufacturedhomepronews.com\/masthead\/touting-public-officials-praising-manufactured-homes-manufactured-housing-institute-ironically-urges-take-action-to-support-cost-effective-mh-energy-efficiency-requirements\/\">Touting Public Officials Praising Manufactured Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute Ironically Urges \u2018Take Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements\u2019 \u2013 Facts &#038; Analysis<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Touting Public Officials Praising Manufactured Homes, Manufactured Housing Institute Ironically Urges \u2018Take Action to Support Cost-Effective MH Energy Efficiency Requirements\u2019 \u2013 Facts &#038; Analysis&#8221; &#8212; Masthead L.
