The goal of the convening is to create a space for groups that are actively working in mobile home community preservation to discuss the current environment for mobile home parks, understand different preservation models that are in place, understand which groups are taking on which roles, and share successful models as well as ongoing challenges. We are asking the question: what would it take for resident-empowered mobile home community preservation models to be consistently viable in Colorado? 

When we say “resident-empowered mobile home community preservation”, we mean efforts to:

• Protect the affordability of existing mobile home communities to benefit existing tenants.
• Avoid displacement of tenants as mobile home communities are sold and/or upgraded.
• Create a structure that empowers residents in some way by giving them a voice and real power in the future of their community.
