Associations
Pennsylvania Manufactured Housing Association
The Pennsylvania Manufactured Housing Association (PMHA) is the statewide trade association for the factory-built housing industry. It describes itself as the legislative, regulatory, and educational voice of the industry, representing manufacturers, retailers, community owners, installers, suppliers, lenders, and other industry specialists.
For members, the association monitors legislation, runs a political action committee, delivers educational training and annual events, publishes industry statistics and regulatory information, and maintains key industry contacts. It produces an annual printed membership directory and maintains online directories, and its office staff answer titling questions and review title paperwork before it is sent to PennDOT. Consumer-facing pages explain how factory-built homes are constructed and connect buyers with retailers across the state.
PMHA was formed in 1946 and incorporated in 1949, establishing headquarters in New Cumberland, Pennsylvania, where it remains at 315 Limekiln Road. Its board of directors is drawn from Pennsylvania retailers, community owners, manufacturers, and suppliers, split between eastern and western region directors.
Dues and membership tiers are not published on the site. Owners outside Pennsylvania will get little from membership, since the value is state statute, licensing, and titling specific to Pennsylvania.
Best for
Pennsylvania community owners, retailers, and installers who need state statute and titling guidance, regulatory contacts, installer and industry education, and a directory listing; there is little here for operators outside Pennsylvania.
