Manufactured Home Parks For many years the Orange County Board of County Commissioners had a keen interest in addressing the vulnerability of residents living in mobile home parks and thus allocated funding to address land banking for mobile home parks and /or to assist in the acquisition of property for future residential development as an affordable housing alternative. Following this action by the BOCC, local housing partners, County staff and other interested constituents began to discuss and evaluate the opportunities and obstacles associated with re- developing an existing mobile home park or developing new affordable housing to address the needs of mobile home park residents at risk. Thus the Affordable Housing Land Banking /Mobile Home Park Work Group was formed. The presentation will provide an update on the work of the Affordable Housing Land Banking /Mobile Home Park Work Group and the recommendations that were approved by the Orange County Board of County Commissioners on November 20, 2017 in regard to mobile home parks in the County and proposed strategies for mitigating resident displacement and relocation challenges due to re- development efforts. Staff will provide any other information at the meeting, and the governing boards can discuss issues and provide feedback to staff related to this item as necessary.
