On Thursday, the Senate Banking Committee approved Scott Turner to serve as Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The 13-11 vote was along party lines, with some voting no because of concerns that his FBI background check was not yet complete.

 

During the Senate Banking Committee’s nomination hearing last week, Turner was asked for his thoughts about manufactured housing. Prior to the hearing, MHI worked with Committee Senators and Turner to ensure that manufactured housing was raised as a topic during the hearing. As a result, Turner’s opening remarks and written statement included references to manufactured housing and Senators asked questions about manufactured housing.

 

The following video clips include Turner’s comments about manufactured housing and questions from the Senators about manufactured housing.
