About Us
ROC USA® is a national non-profit social enterprise that helps residents purchase and manage their Manufactured (“Mobile”) Home Communities through limited equity cooperatives. We serve 23,000 member-owners across 338 Resident Owned Communities (ROCs) in 21 states. Through ROC USA® Capital, our certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI), we provide financing and technical assistance to help homeowners purchase the land beneath their homes and successfully manage their communities.
Our impact is significant: homes in ROCs sell for 16% more per square foot than in investor-owned communities, while maintaining below-market site fees. With nearly 40 years of experience and over $1 billion in investments, we’ve proven that resident ownership creates more stable, affordable, and resilient communities. Our work has been featured in The New York Times, Financial Times, and HBO’s Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Central to our mission is the ROC Association, which gives residents a voice in our organization through elected community leaders who serve on our Board of Directors. We are committed to expanding opportunities for homeowners, improving community sustainability, and building collective community power through resident leadership.
