Madras (Ore.) mobile home park forms housing co-operative

Posted by Mike Bullard May 2, 2022

When Shawn King got a letter in the mail Sept. 15, 2021, that the owners of the mobile home park she lived in was selling the land, she thought the chances of her rent remaining reasonable and remaining at the park were slim to none.

The letter from the owner informed residents they had ten days if they wanted to purchase the park, listed with a $3-million price tag.

“I really thought we would have to move,” said now Co-op President Shawn King. “My husband’s on disability. I stay home to care for him. We just would not be able to find a place here.”
