Description

In California, mobile homes make up to 6% of the state’s housing stock. With as many as 300,000 homes in 5,000 mobile home parks in the state, they play a critical role in providing affordable housing. But state laws and efforts by for-profit developers to buy up mobile home communities are putting this kind of housing at risk. We talk to experts about the challenges mobile home owners face.




Guests:


Bruce Stanton, general counsel, Golden State Manufactured Home Owners League


Mary Currie, resident, Marin Valley Mobile Country Club


Randy Keller, advocacy manager, manufactured home parks acquisition, California Center for Cooperative Development


Mariah Thompson, senior litigator, California Rural Legal Assistance, Inc.
