A packed room of engaged community owners, industry partners, and expert presenters, delivering some of the most critical updates our sector has seen this year. From high-impact legislative briefings to federal-level insights, sustainability initiatives, vendor resources, and direct access to leaders shaping the future of manufactured housing in Massachusetts — this was a day full of knowledge, connection, and advocacy you won’t want to miss next time.

Here is quick access to the HUD forms that must be filed on new construction homes.
FYI:
Did you know that once a HUD home passes on as a resale to a second owner that the home is no longer governed by HUD?
The Massachusetts Manufactured Housing Association, Inc. (MMHA) is a statewide not-for-profit organization established in 1996 representing manufactured housing community owners/operators, manufacturers, insurers, financiers, and suppliers throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
MMHA is committed to promoting the general welfare and growth of the manufactured housing industry in Massachusetts while seeking to educate public officials, consumers, and industry professionals.
The HUD Installation Program took effect 10 years ago on May 1st, 2016. MA did not have an installation program in place so MA became a default state and HUD implemented minimum standards and a certification program. All manufactured home installers must be certified.

MMHA is a Massachusetts-based industry association representing all sectors of the manufactured housing industry. Membership is open to community owners — both privately owned and resident-owned communities — as well as associate members who provide products and services to the industry.
MMHA provides meaningful opportunities to connect with fellow industry professionals. Through Annual Meetings, educational seminars, social events, and other gatherings, members are able to share knowledge, ask questions, form strategic partnerships, and expand their professional reach.
Successful business leaders understand the value of collaboration — even among competitors. MMHA serves as a bridge for communication, fostering a cooperative environment focused on improving profitability, efficiency, and long-term success.
MMHA offers educational opportunities as they become available and as industry needs arise. From time to time, we coordinate certifications, informational sessions, or business-focused programming relevant to manufactured housing professionals.
While not our primary focus, these opportunities are designed to provide practical value and timely information when it matters most.
One of the most important benefits of association membership is advocacy. MMHA is dedicated to protecting and advancing the interests of the manufactured housing industry in Massachusetts.
As the industry grows stronger, so do the opportunities for individual businesses. Through coordinated legislative and regulatory advocacy, MMHA provides representation that would be significantly more costly to pursue independently.
Become an active participant in strengthening and advancing the Massachusetts manufactured housing industry. Membership supports the industry’s position as a provider of quality, affordable housing throughout the Commonwealth.
Membership is an investment in your business. As Benjamin Franklin noted, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.”
$500 annually plus an additional $8 per site over 30
(Includes first 30 sites; $8 per additional site)
MMHA members prefer to do business with manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers who demonstrate a shared commitment to the industry. Associate membership provides valuable access to key decision makers and opportunities for increased industry involvement.
