UMH CEO Sam Landy should be thanked for sharing via HousingWire his recent op-ed which weaves together what is arguably a subtle call for the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) to do what the Manufactured Housing Association for Regulatory Reform (MHARR) called for amendments to the ROAD to Housing Act 2025. Consider carefully what Landy did and didn’t say in: Manufactured housing is the future of affordable housing. Landy asserts: “Manufactured housing offers a proven, scalable path to affordable homeownership—if policymakers remove outdated barriers.” Landy’s fact-laced argument includes the points that manufactured homes allow households to buy with less than half the income and for potentially hundreds of thousands in lower total costs than conventional ‘site built’ housing.
