South Florida Mobile Home Council

On 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.

El 4 de Noviembre, la comisión del condado va a votar sobre nuevos reglamentos que nos afecta a nosotros.

Nosotros luchamos para conseguir la moratoria para buscar soluciones a largo plazo al cierre de parques de casas móviles.

Nosotros enforcamos la comisión del nuestro condado:
• Declarar la moratoria para parar los cerramientos de los parques.
• Crear una nueva reglas de planificación para parques de casas móviles.
• Cambiar el plan maestro comprehensivo de desarrollo para preservar parques (El plan original no tenia ningún parque abierto en diez años).
• Conseguir recursos para ayudar los dueños de casas móviles a comprar sus parques.
• Enmendar los más fuertes requerimientos de relocalización cuando un dueño cierra un parque.
