All Parks Alliance for Change is the statewide organization for Minnesota’s 180,000 manufactured home park residents. APAC provides a vehicle for manufactured home owners to express their needs and concerns in their parks and in the larger community. Through education, grassroots organizing and leadership development, APAC works with residents to improve the quality of life in park neighborhoods, protect the rights of park residents, advance public policy change that supports safe, affordable, and stable park communities, and preserve this vital source of affordable housing.
Thank you, Katherine!

Support APAC on "Give to the Max Day" -- November 13, 2014!
"Give to the Max Day" is November 13th!
Help APAC and manufactured home park residents around the state.
Why should you give?
Here are some great reasons:
Residents, before APAC started in 1980,…
- Didn’t have to be given a written lease
- Could be evicted without cause
- Faced the possibility of monthly rent increases of ANY amount
- Could be asked to leave their home without compensation if a park closed!
- Did NOT have the legal right to speak out & organize in their communities!

Ask Minnesota Legislature: "Hold a Hearing for the Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund"
Message to All Minnesotans:
CALL THE HOUSING COMMITTEE CHAIRS!
Lift the Cap on Manufactured Home Relocation Trust Fund Benefits
Call today and let the committee chairs know why it is important to hold a hearing:
- The Relocation Trust Fund provides for moving costs or a home buy-out in the event of a mobile home park closure. During the 2011 session, a $1 million cap was placed on the Trust Fund.
- This amount is not enough to cover the costs of just one large park closure.
- In addition, if the balance is not allowed to rise, it will not be possible to increase the maximum benefits for relocation or buy-out, which are now set well below actual costs.
