Arizona Raises the Bar on Manufactured Home Installation
The Manufactured Housing Industry of Arizona’s (MHIA) new recap video captures how a state association can turn workforce challenges into momentum. In mid‑May MHIA brought more than 100 licensed and prospective installers together for a two‑day “Authorized Installer Training”, pairing classroom sessions with live demonstrations on proper anchoring, skirting, utility hookups, and HUD‑code compliance.
Hosted at the factories of Cavco’s Goodyear and Clayton’s Buckeye plants, the program blended manufacturer know‑how with guidance from Arizona Department of Housing officials—an approach that kept safety, customer service, and quality objectives front and center.
The three‑minute highlight reel shows crews rehearsing tie‑down techniques, swapping troubleshooting tips, and celebrating newly earned certificates—proof that targeted, hands‑on training can scale quickly when state associations, builders, and regulators pull in the same direction for a common cause.
Why it matters: By investing in installer education, MHIA is strengthening consumer confidence, reducing warranty claims, and widening the career pipeline, all wins your association can replicate. Hit play to see the energy for yourself and consider how a similar partnership could elevate installation standards in your state.
