The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is a national trade association representing manufacturers, retailers, lenders, communities, and suppliers involved in the manufactured and modular housing industry. Its mission is to advance the availability and affordability of manufactured housing by promoting industry growth, advocating for favorable public policies, and supporting professional standards and consumer access to factory-built housing.
MHI typically advocates for housing finance reform, expansion of access to federally backed lending for manufactured homes, zoning and land-use policies that allow manufactured housing communities, federal preemption under the Manufactured Housing Improvement Act, tax policies favorable to factory-built housing, and regulatory reforms affecting HUD standards, energy efficiency rules, and consumer lending regulations.
Primarily funded through membership dues, industry sponsorships, conferences, and event revenues from companies within the manufactured housing sector.
Affiliates include state manufactured housing associations, manufactured home builders, community operators, lenders, and suppliers; it works closely with members engaged in HUD Code housing and has relationships with national housing and real estate advocacy organizations.
Non-profit trade association
