There are more facts, analysis and information from MHARR found in the MHProNews Q&A’s with Danny Ghorbani at this link below. Ghorbani is a former vice president at the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI). He is also an RV MH Hall of Fame Inductee. Ghorbani is currently the senior advisor to MHARR, but is the Washington, D.C. based association’s founding president and chief executive officer (CEO) since 1985.

Among the points that the MHARR senior advisor Ghorbani shared is his strong belief that manufactured housing is unlikely to achieve its goals unless the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) is willing to sue to get the industry’s rights under federal law enforced. Here is how Ghorbani expressed it: “Under normal circumstances, the ideal entity would be the industry’s national and independent post-production association…” i.e.: MHI. But “…maybe all is not lost because MHI, which continues to collect dues and serves as the industry’s de-facto post production representation, knows only too well that these post production problems, and particularly the discriminatory and exclusionary zoning laws, not only are not being resolved, but are getting worse, blocking progress and prosperity for its own members and the broader industry as well.

You may recall that I ended my answer to your Question No. 2 by asking MHI if it knows how to fight and win the industry’s zoning battles. Now, here we have shown and given them the exact blueprint as to “how” to do this…” the full statement and others related to the means to boost access and sales of affordable manufactured homes are found in the Q&As shown below.

There are also years of insights from MHARR’s President and CEO Mark Weiss, J.D. years of published “Issues and Perspectives” found at this link here. Weiss has decades of manufactured housing experience. Few if any others in manufactured housing national association leadership-staff roles have the experience that Weiss has. Weiss has also argued that the industry’s professionals should come together to use the legal system to defend the industry’s rights in a fashion that would benefit potentially millions of those who desire a manufactured home. Manufactured housing is the most proven and affordable form of permanent housing in the U.S.
