Following up on a story MHProNews published Nov. 19, 2012 concerning the city of Fort Collins, Colo. and its responsibility to help MH residents displaced by development, the city has drafted a report to preserve affordable housing, and addresses the role of the city and property owners in assisting low income residents find new homes. The report suggests creating a manufactured community zoning district and requiring developers give residents up to a year to find new housing. Under the proposal, developers would also have to either pay some or all of the value of the MH being left behind, or fund the moving of the homes up to 25 miles. The Coloradoan says city officials are hosting an open house to discuss the report.
