National News CFED (Corporation for Enterprise Development) held it's annual Innovations in Manufactured Homes (I’M HOME) retreat on October 1st and 2nd in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Manufactured Home Owners Association of America held on October 3rd and 4th in Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. There were over 90 partners, homeowners, advocates and nonprofit organizations working together to preserve manufactured home communities and change public policy attending the I’m Home Retreat. The Manufactured Homeowners Association of America had over 100 homeowners and advocates attending this year’s meeting from 25 states, including representatives from 19 different state homeowner associations. There were many work shops available and a lot of networking going on. As a member of the Manufactured Home Owners Association of America’s Board of Directors, (and its new President), I would like to thank CFED for providing financial support and APAC (All Park Alliance for Change) for all the work and planning that went into this very special event. ― Lois Parris |
