Affordable Housing-Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) Concerns Spotlighted in HousingWire
'A Thunderclap: Unpacking UMH CEO Sam Landy, MHI Board Member, statements define 'the Failure Metric' in ROAD to Housing Act.

There is an apparent struggle within the manufactured housing industry between those who favor consolidation of the industry into ever fewer hands and those who want to see robust growth which should lead to more competition, lower costs, economic and taxpayer benefits.
In a new fact-packed op-ed via HousingWire, facts much of the mainstream media have overlooked are brought into focus. New Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) board member Sam Landy has essentially countered that association's narrative by spotlighting problems the rival Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) has been calling for to 'fix' via two proposed amendments the otherwise flawed ROAD to Housing Act 2025.
