Propel Insurance Expands Coverage with New Manufactured Housing Program, 'MHC Pro'

TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Propel Insurance ("Propel" or "the Company"), a leading retail insurance agency and a portfolio company of Flexpoint Ford, announced today the finalization of its new Manufactured Housing Program, 'MHC Pro'. In collaboration with Zurich North America, one of the largest providers of insurance solutions and services to businesses and individuals, the program has developed risk management solutions for the manufactured housing community. 

Launched in July 2021, MHC Pro is the first program of its kind providing coverage across the United States to the more than 37,500 manufactured housing communities and will expand Propel's existing Mobile Home/RV program. Led by Pat Flynn, Program Manager, and Janet Duncan, Program Underwriter at Propel, MHC Pro will further establish Propel's presence beyond the West Coast, specifically California, expanding coverage nationwide.

Janet Duncan commented, "While the manufactured housing community industry has been around for a long time and the business model has not changed, the type of owner has. We have already worked with the manufactured housing community for over a decade and currently insure more than 3,000 communities, making us distinctively aware of the community's current needs. Our unique, comprehensive risk management program will provide tailored solutions to address the needs of owners and managers with one of the nation's leading carriers."

"Knowing Propel's proven track record of success in the industry, we are excited to join with them on this new journey establishing MHC Pro," said Greg Massey, Head of Programs for Zurich North America. "With more than 100 years of underwriting experience and great financial strength globally, Zurich brings the background and reputation needed to help serve the large quantity of manufactured housing communities across the country."

Programs available under MHC Pro will include property, general liability, auto liability, crime, loss of business income/loss of rents due to a loss of non-owned homes, and debris removal for abandoned homes.
