Manufactured Housing Park
Program
The RCAP Solutions Manufactured Housing
Park Program focuses on:
• Sustaining and increasing
the inventory of
affordable housing.
• Maximizing local neighborhood excellence
through neighborhood revitalization as
appropriate.
|
 |
|
The outcome of our program
will be the protection of assets and wealth creation for
hundreds and possibly thousands of manufactured housing
park residents over the next decade. |
|
|
|
|
|
Our initiative has two major components:
1. Loan Funds: Securing funds for site
acquisition and improvement loans for parks.
2. Advocacy for Park Residents: Advocating for residents of manufactured housing communities who
face public health and/or compliance issues related to
drinking water and sewer infrastructure.

A Universe Faced With Challenges
The climate for Manufactured Housing Community (MHC) residents is risky these days. Homes are being sold out from under residents because of:
| • Recent increases in land
value.
• The cost of infrastructure upkeep.
• The increased scrutiny by environmental
regulatory agencies.
|
MHC proprietors are motivated to sell to developers, who
may have quite different intended use for the land on which
the community sits. In such circumstances, individuals who own
their manufactured home but not the land underneath it are at
risk. This land may become a parking lot for a shopping mall
or spring up into mid/high priced residential “MacMansions”.
Such transition not only is a threat to the current
manufactured home owner/resident, it results in reduction of
sorely needed affordable housing.
