Vecinos Unidos
Vecinos Unidos members fight for their homes.
Vecinos Unidos is currently working on two fronts: Mobile Home Council and Residents Committee.
The Mobile Home Council, the first in the state, with more than 120 members from 15 mobile homes parks has been active since July 2007.
We are confident that in building Vecinos Unidos we are developing a model for community and labor action.
As the SFJwJ coalition moves forward with the Marlins stadium (Public Good from Public Money campaign) Vecinos Unidos members and union members can work together in this fight for social justice.
South Florida Mobile Home CouncilOn November 4, the County Commission will vote on regulations that will affect us. We fought for the moratorium so that we could find solutions in the fight against the closing of mobile home parks. So far, we have forced our county commission to: • Declare the moratorium to stop the closing of mobile home parks. • Create new zoning regulations for mobile home parks. • Change the Comprehensive Development Master Plan to preserve parks. (The original plan did not have any parks open in ten years) • Found resources to help the mobile home owners to purchase their parks. • Adopt stronger requirements of relocation when an owner closes a park. |
