Last week, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing addressing homebuyers’ current challenges and characteristics. During the hearing, Rep. Mike Flood (NE-1) raised the lack of housing being built for middle-income people and how manufactured housing has an important role here. Rep. Flood concluded by asking city leaders who effectively use manufactured housing in a development to reach out to his office. MHI will continue the conversation with lawmakers to further awareness of the importance of manufactured housing to addressing the country’s housing supply shortage.
