Pam Gutierrez

My name is Pam Gutierrez from Billings, MT. I’ve always lived in mobile homes and was able to purchase this one in 1999. I had to move from where I was living before and decided to move my home here to Golden Meadows in October 2021. I wanted to avoid bad weather in the heights and loved our little cul-de-sac.

In June 2021, Havenpark purchased our park from underneath our feet. Since then, we’ve seen ridiculous rent increases and have to pay for everything from water to garbage and even pet fees. They take a big chunk out of my social security every month. There are a lot of elderly people and veterans here who can’t deal with the constant increases. Havenpark says it’s because of inflation, but that affects us too! And we aren’t seeing any improvements in our park for what we’re paying.

It doesn’t seem right that they are displacing people. It needs to stop! What’s their ultimate goal? How high will they raise our rent? Where are we supposed to go when we can’t afford it anymore?
