Mobile Justice': A Study of the Effects of Transportation Projects on Manufactured Home Parks

Manufactured Home Parks are one of Minnesota's most valuable sources of affordable housing. There are more affordable housing units in Manufactured Home Parks (MHP's) than there are Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidized units and Rural Development units combined. Statewide, there are over 900 licensed parks in which nearly 180,000 residents live. According to HUD guidelines, 80% of these residents fall within low to very-low income brackets. Transportation projects effect manufactured home parks across the state. This report looks at two case studies where park residents organized to prevent closure due to transportation projects.Conducted on behalf of All Parks Alliance for Change.
