Manufactured Housing Preservation
Preserving Manufactured Housing through the Creation of Resident-Owned Communities 
One of the most effective ways of preserving manufactured housing, as well as to promote secure tenure and encourage wealth-building and asset appreciation via manufactured home ownership, is to facilitate a resident purchase of a park. A resident-owned community (ROC) is an entity created by manufactured housing park residents to purchase and control the park and manage infrastructure, operations and common areas.
CASA’s manufactured housing program uses a multi-faceted approach, focusing on policy issues, as well as on-the-ground technical assistance, in order to make resident ownership a viable option. CASA works in close partnership with the Community Development Law Center, Oregon Housing and Community Services and ROC USA™ to assist both residents and owners of manufactured housing parks. The program would not be possible without support from the Corporation for Enterprise Development, Oregon Housing and Community Services, ROC USA and the Meyer Memorial Trust.
In May 2008, CASA of Oregon became one of nine Certified Technical Assistance Providers (CTAPs) under the national ROC USA network. ROC USA and its affiliate, the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund, are non-profits with over 25 years of experience combining expert technical assistance with specialized purchase financing for resident corporations.
