My name is Jamie Mandl, and I have lived in Buckhorn Estates in Des Plaines, Illinois, which is owned and operated by Yes Communities, since July 2025.

My name is Kris Bee Bee, and I’ve lived in Trailer Haven Mobile Home Park in San Leandro, California, since 1999. For 27 years, this community has been my home.

My name is Dena Long and I live in Country Club Estates in Salt Lake City, UT. I bought my home in 2020, but couldn’t move in until 2023 due to construction defects. I moved here because it was a good location and I needed a place I could put a ramp after having surgery.

My name is Luz Meza, and I have called Bell Mobile Home Park in Bell, California, my home for 19 years. I am a mother of three, including a son with a disability, and everything I do is to keep my children safe, stable, and together.

I did everything right. I paid my rent on time, kept my home neat, helped my neighbors, and followed the rules. Yet in less than six years, I have lived in five residences across four parks under nine different landlords.

My family and neighbors at Forest View have been through a lot. We have faced water problems, neglect, crumbling infrastructure, corrupt management, eviction threats, and a constant fear that the park will close, which would cause the majority of us to be 'unhoused', which is just another way to say 'homeless'.

My name is Joan Cirillo, and I've lived in Mission Bay Mobile Home Park in San Leandro, California, for over 40 years. This place isn't just where I live—it's my history. My parents moved here first, and I came to take care of them. I was one of the youngest residents back then.

My name is Diana Patton. I’ve lived in Eaglecrest Mobile Home Park in Hamburg, NY, since 2017. After losing my home to foreclosure due to my disability, I decided to move here because the rents in apartments had gone up considerably and I have a support network of family and friends here.

My name is David Leung and me and my family made the decision to relocate to this neighborhood several years ago because we were immediately impressed by the warmth and friendliness of the community. The neighbors we met were welcoming, and we felt a sense of security and belonging that made this location feel like the right choice.

My name is Mary Meyer, and my late husband and I moved into Gateway MHC in Frankfort, IL, in 1998. It was quiet and affordable, which made sense for us at the time since we were both still working. For ten years, my mother-in-law lived with us, and after retiring, my husband and I went on ski trips and motorcycle rides together.

My name is Brenda Clark. I’m in New Lebanon, Ohio. I live in Dayton Mobile Home Park. I was raised here and have been living here for the last 20 years. My parents bought the home from my great grandmother who managed the park for years. Then my parents were managers after her. I’ve been here all my life and know a lot about the park.

My name is Deborah Acosta from Mission Bay Mobile Home Park in San Leandro, CA. I decided to move here after I lost my home during the big recession in 2015. I bought a brand new Manufactured Home and I couldn’t believe how affordable it was. It was too good to be true.

My name is Linda Grossman and I live in Rudgate Manor in Sterling Heights, Michigan. I have lived in my home for 36 years.  I chose to move into a manufactured home in 1991, purchasing a home as a young adult was out of my range. The community was a well-run, well-maintained community. Management offered a lot of programs for outside updates on your home.

My name is Maria Becerra, and I currently reside in Cinderella Mobile Home Park located in Paramount, CA, where I have been living for the past year. I moved here after being compelled to leave my previous community due to escalating rents in Los Angeles.

My name is Judy Salgado, and I’ve lived in Green Meadows Estates for over eight years. I was raised on a farm out in the country, and then when I was getting older, I discovered Rockford. I’ve been here ever since. I always lived in mobile home parks, because that was how I could afford to raise three kids on my own.

My name is Dan Riggs. This is my wife Tina Riggs. We’ve lived here about 5 and a half years. It’s a quiet community. There's no problems. There's no hassles. We all know each other. We all help each other. We’re a community.

My name is Jose Angel Garcia. I've lived in the Orange Mobile Home Park in Paramount, CA, for 17 years. My sister already lived here, and I decided to move here for financial reasons as well. It was a much cheaper option for my family.

My name is Stacy O'Connell, and since December 2020 I have lived with my two sons and daughter at Falcon Farms Mobile Home Park in Port Byron, Illinois (owned by Yes Communities). We’re a disabled family. All three kids and I have disabilities.

I’m Jason Eldridge. I’ve been living here in Kristana Mobile Home Park for approximately 6 years. In this time that I’ve been living here, I’ve maintained more than what’s required of me.

My name is Amber Hickey, and I am the president of the Hoffman Tenant Advocacy Group, representing 16 communities in Hoffman Home parks in Saratoga County, NY. I purchased my home in 2024 with the expectation of gaining a wonderful home and becoming part of a thriving community.
