All Parks Alliance for Change is the statewide organization for Minnesota’s 180,000 manufactured home park residents. APAC provides a vehicle for manufactured home owners to express their needs and concerns in their parks and in the larger community. Through education, grassroots organizing and leadership development, APAC works with residents to improve the quality of life in park neighborhoods, protect the rights of park residents, advance public policy change that supports safe, affordable, and stable park communities, and preserve this vital source of affordable housing.

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.

Ask Minnesota Legislature: "Hold a Hearing for the Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund"
Message to All Minnesotans:
CALL THE HOUSING COMMITTEE CHAIRS!
Lift the Cap on Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund Benefits
Call today and let the committee chairs know why it is important to hold a hearing:
- The Relocation Trust Fund provides for moving costs or a home buy-out in the event of a mobile home park closure. During the 2011 session, a $1 million cap was placed on the Trust Fund.
- This amount is not enough to cover the costs of just one large park closure.
- In addition, if the balance is not allowed to rise, it will not be possible to increase the maximum benefits for relocation or buy-out, which are now set well below actual costs.

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.
Thank you for helping APAC to meet CCHD's $5,000 challenge!
Thank-you to all of you!:
In the fall, Catholic Campaign for Human Development issued a challenge: Raise $5,000 by January 1 and they would match it with another $5,000. Thanks to you we were able to meet their challenge. The additional funds will go to our continued work with the state’s 180,000 manufactured home park residents.
