Calling All Manufactured Home Owner Activists, Letter Writers, and Residents Tired of Constant Rent Increases
Are you interested in working
on National Manufactured Home Owners of America's REIT/Retirement Security Campaign?
NMHOA has been partnering with the
Center for Community Change (CCC) for the past two years. The initial focus of
the work was the intersection between seniors residing in communities owned by
Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc. (ELS) and the ever-increasing rents that seniors
on fixed retirement security incomes were required to pay. Over time the
Campaign has evolved to target other Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) who
are treating home owners unfairly and especially seniors who social security is
being threatened at the same time as their rents are being increased above the
cost of living. NMHOA and CCC are planning our next action and if you
would like to be involved (whether or not you live in a REIT-owned community),
please contact Pam Bournival (pamb13@yahoo.com)
for more information. Also check out www.mhaction.org for up-to-date information on the
Campaign.
