My name is Carla Kinsey, and I have lived in Avon on the Lake in Rochester Hills, Michigan for 13 years. I spent a long time looking for my home because I’ve been fighting a terminal disease for 14 years, and I wanted it to be the place where I died.

My name is Rick Smith, and I’ve lived in Lake Suzanne Mobile Home Park in Shiloh, IL for 17 years. My dad wasn’t doing so good, so I volunteered to come down here from Indiana and take care of him. After he died, I bought the place, fixed it up, and my son came to live with me.

My name is Toccara Rogers and, until recently, I rented a mobile home at Lake Bradford Estates Mobile Home Park in Tallahassee, Florida. During the 7 months I lived there, I paid $1,250 in rent a month

My name is Melanie Payne-Powell and I live in Tallahassee, Florida, at Lake Bradford Estates Mobile Home Park. My husband and I moved into the park in 1989 because, as a multi-racial couple, we loved how diverse it was. It also had great amenities, like a pool, a gym, a sauna, a rec room, and a laundromat. We were renters at first, but when my husband passed away suddenly, I bought a home in the park with his death insurance.

I moved to my home in Akron, NY, in 2017 with my grandson, who had lost both of his parents (my daughter) to a car accident. We moved here because my son lives in Akron with his wife and son and I wanted to make my family whole once again.

I'm Cindy Newman from The Highwood's in Great Falls Montana. I'd like to tell you about my friends and neighbors--- people who choose to live in manufactured homes.

My name is Blaer Roberts, and I live in Landmark Estates in Warren, Michigan. I moved up here from Georgia after my stepfather died to help out my mom and be closer to my kids. 

My name is Rosa Pizano, and I am a resident of Santa Ana’s Country Club Mobile Home Park. I have lived here since 1993 and have been organizing since 2001.
