From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Canadian Manufactured Housing Institute (CMHI) is an industry association which represents manufacturers, developers, retailers, suppliers, landlease community managers and others involved in the factory-based construction of buildings. [1] Starting in 1953, this organization has been the voice of a continuously evolving industry, one which produced approximately 11.0% of single-family housing starts in Canada in the first half of 2009, this number having increased from 8.0% in 2006. [2]

CMHI members work together on a range of activities:

• industry networking and communication [3] [4]

• industry education and training [5]

• codes and standards development [6]

• consumer information initiatives [7] [8]

• research and innovation projects [9] [10]

• public-private partnerships

• regulatory reform [6]

• representations to government

• export research and promotion [11]

The Canadian Manufactured Housing Institute has formed a wide range of partnerships within both the public and private sectors to ensure that the specific interests of the manufactured housing industry are addressed at a national level. For example, CMHI works closely with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation [12] [10] [13], the Canadian Standards Association [11], the National Research Council [6], and the Canadian Home Builders' Association. [14] Through their affiliation with regional manufactured housing associations, they also provide support on issues of a provincial, territorial or local nature. [15] [16] CMHI publishes a magazine entitled Building Excellence®, which features articles related to the manufactured housing industry in Canada [17], as well as a monthly e-bulletin entitled Manufactured Housing Now [18]

Kathleen Maynard, CMHI’s Executive Director, was quoted in the National Post, a nationally-circulated newspaper published in Toronto, Ontario. [19] She was also featured as a manufactured housing expert in the online magazine of the popular media personality Mike Holmes. [20] For 2010-2011, Peter Aitchison is the president of CMHI, John Froese is the vice-president and David Poupore is the treasurer.
