MHAction

MHAction is a growing national movement of manufactured home community residents who organize their neighbors, build campaigns to protect the affordability and quality of their communities, and fight to advance racial, economic, and gender justice. Our movement is built on a core belief that everyone should have a healthy, vibrant community and a stable, affordable place to call home. MHAction relies on the power of well-trained, committed grassroots leaders. Through a robust online to offline organizing program, MHAction staff recruit, train, and coach manufactured home residents to be leaders and organizers in their communities. MHAction leaders fight for corporate community owner accountability and for policy reform to protect their and other tenants’ housing, health, and economic security. MHAction’s work began as a special project under the Center for Community Change in 2012. MHAction launched as an independent project in May of 2016 and is fiscally sponsored at Tides Center. A National Core Team of manufactured home community residents from around the country lead campaigns in their own regions and states and come together to oversee the strategic direction of our movement. MHAction Core Team Leaders serve as an informal organizational board and work with staff and MHAction members to set the priorities and strategies for the organization.

MHAction empowers homeowners and residents in manufactured home communities to build and win local, state, and national issue campaigns that strengthen the long-term viability and affordability of their communities and build progressive power in rural and exurban areas and small cities across the country. The work of MHAction is based on a set of shared values – compassion for our neighbors, love of our communities, and our belief that everyone has a right to a decent, affordable place to call home in a healthy community. Core to MHAction’s work is uniting and organizing people across class, race, religion, age, citizenship status, sexual orientation, and gender to fight back and prioritize the needs of communities that have been historically marginalized.
