On Tuesday, four manufactured homes arrived in Washington, D.C. for HUD’s fifth annual Innovative Housing Showcase. More than 5,000 people, including policymakers, housing industry representatives, media, and the public, are expected to attend the event, which will open on Saturday, Sept. 6 and run through Sept. 10.

UMH Properties is once again exhibiting homes on the National Mall—marking its fifth time participating in this important event. This year, UMH is sponsoring three homes in partnership with Cavco Industries, Champion Homes and Ritz-Craft.

Clayton Homes is also exhibiting a home for the showcase, displaying a single-section CrossMod® home that highlights the innovation and versatility of this home category.

MHI appreciates the engagement of these exhibitors, as the showcase continues to be an effective way to demonstrate to policymakers the quality and attainability of manufactured housing. The homes on display represent a range of types and siting options that respond to the nation’s diverse housing supply needs.

MHI members have an exclusive opportunity to engage with national issues and federal policymakers during MHI on the Hill, held in conjunction with the Innovative Housing Showcase on September 9 and 10 in Washington, D.C.

MHI members will be briefed on the latest issues and will meet with policymakers who shape the laws and regulations that impact manufactured housing. Members will connect and collaborate during several networking events, including an open house for elected officials, hosted by HUD.
