The Mobile Home Project (MHP) works with mobile home park residents throughout the state of Vermont. We know that mobile homes provide an important affordable home ownership opportunity for many Vermonters.

The mission of the MHP is to help mobile home park residents to achieve and maintain good housing situations for themselves individually and for mobile home park residents as a whole. We work to accomplish these goals through resident organizing and by providing advocacy, information and counseling for groups of residents and individual households. We also publicly promote mobile home residents' interests by participating as mobile home park experts in the legislative process and other policy making processes in Vermont.

Working in cooperation with various governmental and non-governmental agencies the MHP helps mobile home park residents to assert their rights such as given to park residents under Vermont's state law. 10 V.S.A. Chapter 153.

The Mobile Home Project provides housing counseling and advocacy to mobile home park residents. Some of the services provided by the MHP are:

  • Help park residents get action with health and safety problems in their parks.
  • Help residents in parks that are being sold or closed.
  • Help park residents in rent increase situations.
  • General housing counseling to households with credit or debt problems.
  • Pre-purchase and post purchase counseling.
  • Help steer mobile home owners away from predatory loans.
