Mobile home parks are Colorado’s closest thing to ‘naturally-occurring’ affordable housing, but mobile home park residents are feeling the pressure of skyrocketing housing costs. A law sponsored by Senator Hinrichsen (SB22-160) will create and invest $35 million into the Mobile Home Park Resident Empowerment Loan and Grant Program Fund, which will provide financing to eligible mobile home homeowners so they can purchase the land under their homes and convert into a resident-owned community. The law will provide critical protections for mobile home owners by putting an end to extreme rent hikes, and help mobile home residents access the tools and help they need to buy the land their homes sit on.
