MHI Launches Land-Lease Community Website as MHProNews Challenges Its Figures
MHI has launched MHCommunitiesUSA.org to promote land-lease communities, and MHProNews argues the site's community and resident figures are inconsistent.
Key facts
- The Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) launched MHCommunitiesUSA.org to promote land-lease manufactured home communities.
- The site says there are more than 43,000 communities nationwide with approximately 4.3 million homesites, while MHProNews says the total is over 50,000, citing FEMA, ELS and the Lincoln Institute.
- The site cites 22 million Americans living in mobile and manufactured homes, while a letter by MHI CEO Lesli Gooch cited 16.6 million.
- MHProNews reports that five of the 19 MHI board members are linked to land-lease communities, including the chairman and vice chairman.
- The site's gallery page refers to more than 40,000 communities, which differs from the home page figure.
