[ROC USA @ROCUSAorg]

While investors are buying up mobile home parks with help from government-backed loans, the residents of these communities themselves aren't getting that sort of help. But they could be, reports @NPR.

“Most owners of manufactured homes would qualify for subsidized housing. If we don’t preserve #ManufacturedHomes nationally, the waiting list for subsidized housing would quadruple," said George “Mac” McCarthy, president and CEO of @landpolicy.

[Paul Bradley @paulatrocusa]

And with so few new land use approvals for #manufacturedhousing communities, we need to preserve and improve those 50,000 or so we have from coast to coast. #affordable housing #coops #resilience #philanthropy

Climate change is causing more intense storms, inundating the Potomac River river with pollution. This, plus continued loss of forests, is threatening progress on the river's cleanup.https://t.co/wyqCcwmehh
