House Financial Services Subcommittee on Insurance, Housing and Community ...

Found that manufactured housing plays a vital role in meeting the housing needs of the Nation and that manufactured homes provide a significant resource for affordable homeownership and rental housing accessible to all Americans.

The law directed the Secretary of HUD to establish a program to administer and carry out the purposes of this legislation which was to protect the quality, durability, safety and affordability of manufactured homes; to facilitate the availability of affordable manufactured homes; to provide for the establishment of practical, uniform Federal construction Standards that preempt standards of States or political subdivisions of States; to encourage innovative and cost-effective construction techniques; to protect the residents of manufactured housing with respect to personal injuries; to establish a balanced consensus process for the development, revision, and interpretation of Federal construction and safety Standards; to ensure uniform and effective enforcement of the Federal construction and safety Standards; and to ensure that the public interest in, and need for, affordable manufactured housing is duly considered in all determinations relating to the Federal Standards and their enforcement.

To carry out these purposes, included stakeholders to assist HUD in carrying out its mission, consisting of manufacturers, retailers, consumers, State regulators, administrative and monitoring contractors and others.

A manufactured housing "consensus committee", also known as the MHCC, was established as a Federal advisory committee to provide recommendations to the Secretary of HUD to adopt and revise Federal manufactured housing construction and safety Standards, as well as procedural and enforcement regulations; and conducts business in a manner that guarantees a fair opportunity for the expression and consideration of various positions and public participation.

what is the average cost for home owner insurance in Athens,PA ...

There are way to many factors to tell you. It depends on the house: age, replacement value, updates of roof, plumbing heating & electric, type of heating system, woodstove, brick or frame, protection class (how far the fire dept is & how far fire hydrants are & if the fire dept is paid or volunteer), general condition, etc.

Ditto on both the prior statements fomr agents. BUT I would check with PREFERRED carriers first. Independant agents usually only have acces to non-standard or surplus lines markets. As a NAtionwide agent, i have acces to all the same products they do, AND Nationwide. Granted, i am required to try and place you with Nationwide first, but with Nationwide you usually get better coverage and lower premiums. Then, if i cant put you with Nationwide, i have 4 brokers and 3 other companies that i work with. Brokers will work with anywhere from 10 to 100 companies, and basically the get “wholesale” rates. Trust me…… Independant agents think they are the shizznit….. I used to be one. Try both and see what kind of service, rates and coverage you get.

Ps. I cant sell you a policy, im not Lic. in PA! So… just some objective advice!
