The NMHOA Board of Directors announced the 2015 Annual Convention of the National Manufactured Home Owners Association will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota from Saturday, October 24 to Sunday, October 25.

Background

• The Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund was established in 2007.
• It replaced 22 local ordinances adopted over a 20 year period.
• It provided uniformity and universal coverage and de-politicized park closings.
• It was passed with the support of residents, park owners, and the League of MN Cities.
• It is funded by a $12 annual fee paid each year by home owners and a fee of up to $3,250 (single section) and $6,000 (multi-section) per home paid by the park owner at closing.
• Benefits are provided for either moving costs or a home buyout.
  

Katherine Nguyen joined APAC for Fall 2014 as a Community Organizer/Tenant Advocate through the HECUA program. She just successfully completed her semester with us and will be returning to her studies at the University of Minnesota to get her degree in Family and Social Science.

• Could be evicted without cause
• Faced the possibility of monthly rent increases of ANY amount
• Could be asked to leave their home without compensation if a park closed!
• Did NOT have the legal right to speak out & organize in their communities!

What is the Rush Line Corridor?

The Rush Line corridor is an 80 mile distance between Hinckley and St. Paul slated for increased public transit service. The 24-member Rush Line Corridor Task Force has been assembled to examine the options available to expand transit based economic development, community preservation, and environmental protection. The Rush Line Corridor ultimately connects suburban communities and rural cities with metropolitan areas.
