  • Zoom In: Online meeting to Combat Housing Inequities
    2024/09/02

    Living in a manufactured home community and wondering how to combat skyrocketing rents and unfair housing practices? Get ready to uncover the critical insights shared by Bill Bateman, Co-President and Communications Director of the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA), as we delve into the pressing issues facing residents of manufactured or floating home communities in Oregon.

    Join the upcoming Zoom sessions, scheduled for September 9th through 12th, which offer a vital platform for seniors to share their experiences and support new legislation spearheaded by Representative Pam Marsh. These sessions will address three main areas of concern: rent hikes outpacing Social Security benefits, complicated rent resets that hinder unit sales, and arbitrary cosmetic improvements required before selling. We also emphasize the importance of forming tenant associations to amplify collective power and fight back against community intimidation and bullying.

    Inspired by Stephen Gabriel's powerful lyrics, addressing Stephen Biko, we explore igniting positive change through collective action. Learn how to become an unstoppable force for good in addressing social issues with passion and determination. Stay informed and engaged with our Zoom updates, email interactions, and by subscribing and sharing our podcast. Join us Monday at 11 o'clock for the latest updates and discussions. Let's work together to drive legislative change and ensure a fairer housing market. Until next time, stay safe, spread the word, and let's be the fire that can't be extinguished.

  • HAF is on the Way! (Homeowners Assistance Fund)
    2024/08/09

    This is something you should see and share with your neighbors. Join me as I talk with Ryan Vanden Brink from the Homeowner Assistance Fund. Known as HAF, they can provide lot rent assistance to homeowners who own their manufactured homes. They must be winding the program down and are only accepting new applications submitted by (free) housing counselors for homeowners getting close to foreclosure or lot rent eviction. With that limited scope in mind, if this is you, they invite you to reach out.

    Here are links to learn more about the program, and the Housing Counselor in your County.
    Please share this with anyone you know in this situation. Applicants can be accepted, as of this date, through October. Please check the website for the latest updates.
