Manufactured Home Park Organizing

Maine is home to 469 manufactured home parks across the state. Every mobile home park resident should have a say in decisions impacting their home. 

• Residents across Maine are taking decision-making power over their own homes. 

• Instead of relying on outside companies to make decisions without any accountability, residents can work together to improve living conditions for themselves and their neighbors.

• Costs are rising across the board, like lot fee increases and increased energy bills. Coming together to organize a MHP into a resident-owned cooperative can help improve living conditions and ease the impact of the affordability crisis.

• Manufactured home residents face particular challenges in Maine’s cold weather, stemming from inefficient and expensive heating sources and poor insulation.

The Maine Labor Climate Council is organizing in manufactured home parks to help residents reduce their living expenses and heating and cooling costs by organizing for power and by opting for cleaner sources of electricity powered by union labor.
