Congressman Fincher’s Statement
In a statement, Congressman Stephen Fincher (TN-08) released the following after the House passed his bipartisan bill to preserve access to financing for affordable manufactured housing:
“I commend my colleagues in the House for passing my bipartisan bill to protect financing options for the millions of Americans who rely on manufactured housing,” said Congressman Fincher. “New regulations that fail to recognize the uniqueness of the manufactured housing industry are taking options off the table for low-income families.”
“My bill has garnered a tremendous amount of bipartisan support in both chambers of Congress and I urge my Senate colleagues to vote on the companion legislation, S.682, as soon as possible. With millions of Americans still recovering from the fallout of the housing crisis, I am hopeful that the President will also support this bill so we can improve access to quality, affordable housing for consumers across the country.”
Background on H.R. 650, the Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act of 2015:
Millions of low and moderate-income families across the country choose to purchase manufactured homes for their affordability and value; the average sales price of a new manufactured home is well under half the national median home price. Unfortunately, due to mortgage regulations issued by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), that do not reflect the unique nature of the manufactured home sales process, access to financing for manufactured homes has been seriously harmed. Lenders are no longer able to offer small-balance loans, which are often used for the purchase of affordable manufactured housing, because CFPB rules unfairly sweep a large percentage of these loans into the “high cost” designation.
Since many lenders have been unable to offer these loans, thousands of manufactured home customers are unable to buy, sell or refinance their homes. Community owners have said their tenants have had to sell their homes well below market value to cash buyers because potential buyers can’t find financing. These below the market sales don’t just hurt sellers – they hurt every homeowner in the community who feels a huge loss on the equity of their home. Since the CFPB’s rule on the loan originator definition has gone into effect, retailers have been forced to stop providing technical assistance to consumers during the home buying process — ultimately leaving consumers in the dark about where they could potentially find financing for affordable housing.
The Preserving Access to Manufactured Housing Act would help ensure the availability of financing options for manufactured homes, while preserving the necessary consumer protections in the Dodd-Frank Act and the S.A.F.E. Act.
MHI and dozens of state associations pushed for the passage of this bill. MHLivingNews.com was a useful voice in the effort to counter the anti-HR 650 forces that mounted a major push with the media.
All involved should celebrate this victory, thanks those who voted in favor and now prepare for the next round as it heads to the Senate. ##
