For years now, Contact Denver7 has told you about out-of-state investors buying mobile home parks and immediately raising rents. Now, a community in Golden is taking matters into their own hands. via jaclynreporting
Pat Martinek has been fighting to stay in her home at Golden Hills Mobile Home Park, even after lot rents doubled in less than two years.
"It means that my Social Security doesn't quite cover everything anymore," said Gumble. "And I've had to cut back on food I eat. I can't live as high on the hog as I used to." Tim Townsend is with Thistle ROC, a nonprofit helping mobile home parks transition from private owners to resident-owned communities . He said Golden Hills could be a model for other communities facing steep rent increases.
The city has already committed to investing $1 million to aid in the residents' purchase of the property, but city staff is now recommending an additional $1 million toward the loan to limit the increase in rent."I do know it is a priority," said Weinberg."I also know that we hope to continue conversations with Jefferson County, who also has funding available for housing."
