California Manufactured Housing Institute

California Manufactured Housing Institute represents the divisions of the manufactured housing industry in California: builders of factory constructed homes, retailers, financial services firms, developers, community owners and their supplier companies. It was founded to advance the availability of factory constructed homes by promoting their sale and the development of sites and communities in the state.

The association's work is education and advocacy. It publishes legislative updates, a code comparison and industry literature, including The Resource, a members' guide to preemption, an advisory on roof-mounted solar photovoltaic systems for manufactured homes, and the state's Accessory Dwelling Unit Handbook. It also provides Manufactured Housing News to both trade and consumer audiences and maintains a searchable member directory.

CMHI has advocated for the industry since 1937 and was established as a non-profit professional and trade association. Its leadership slate includes seats for retailers, finance companies, developers and community owners. The office is at 1945 Chicago Ave, Riverside, California.

Membership runs to a calendar of events, including regional chapter meetings, a holiday event and an annual convention. Dues and membership tiers are not published on the crawled pages, so join or request terms through the site, and use the member directory to confirm whether a particular retailer or installer is a member.
