"You have a right to safe housing that's affordable and that just doesn't exist up here anymore," said Kunze. "We are your neighbors. We are the people who serve the tourists who we recruit very heavily in this state." https://t.co/9ngfoAqFqn

The bill we advocated for officially goes into effect this Saturday, October 1.

While there is still a lot of work to be done to secure #RightsForResidents in Colorado's mobile home parks, this is an important step forward.

[Representative Andy Boesenecker @rep_boesenecker]

Grateful for all of the residents and advocates who stepped up to make 1287 a reality. There is still more work to be done. We’re going to keep fighting for residents and to protect affordable housing in Colorado. #coleg #copolitics #rightsforresidents

"Now for us it is a new life," says longterm resident of Fort Collins mobile home park – now named "New Life Mobile Homes" to celebrate a new era of peace and security after residents' purchase. Celebrating this win! https://t.co/74nFc7jIzq

Today, August 10, the Towing Bill of Rights (HB22-1314) officially goes into effect. This new law goes a long way in protecting Coloradans from predatory, nonconsensual towing. https://t.co/EAfsihcZ2Z

Denver’s zoning codes are especially discriminatory to mobile homeowners. Now, city councilmembers are working on a plan to fix it. Read: https://t.co/8zP8GEJMwl

“About 66% or 90,000 of our 130,000 mobile home park lots in the state of Colorado are now owned by out-of-state corporate investors,” said @rep_boesenecker. https://t.co/72nMASudWu

Rep. Hooton was a strong advocate for mobile home park resident rights. Her presence in the Capitol will be missed.

[Quentin Young @qpyoungnews]

NEW: State rep. @EdieHooton, a Boulder Dem, is withdrawing her #HD10 reelection candidacy.

"The Spanish version of the saying, 'If I eat, we all eat,' takes on a very real meaning at the LMP Longmont mobile home park. This is the kind of place where neighbors share their food, help take care of each other's kids, and truly know one another."

[Rep. Javier Mabrey @javier_mabrey]

It’s a shame we couldn’t pass rent stabilization protections for mobile home park residents earlier this year. I believe housing is a human right and not an investment opportunity for the wealthy, our laws should reflect these values.

"Corporate greed is what prevents mobile home parks from continuing to provide affordable housing options. Families own the mobile home, but the park owners own the land under them, meaning they can sell it or raise the rent of the lots at any time." https://t.co/3cH2aeNDKN

[Rights For Residents @RFRColorado]

"Basically, renters of the land are trapped, and what a lot of big companies have found is that families are willing to do whatever it takes to save their home."

Thank you for covering this issue, @SoniaReports.

"Mobile home residents and activists are calling for a meeting with Colorado Gov. Jared Polis to question why he worked to remove a rent stabilization measure in a recently signed law for mobile home resident protections." #RightsForResidents https://t.co/NpFx4Psn98
