Manufactured home communities face many challenges, and each community is different. From problems with basic infrastructure and water billing, toÌýrent increases, unreasonable park rules, and unfair treatment–many areas of potential conflict between residents and park owners exist. Resident health and well-being can suffer. How can disputes be resolved? How can positive change be made?

Join us for lunch and a full afternoon of speakers, Q&A, brainstorming, and breakout groups as we explore past success and possibilities for future action. Learn, share, connect, and leave with motivation and resources to stay engaged.

Doors open at 11:15 a.m. at the East Boulder Community Center - see map in sidebar.
