MHOA Introduction
Introducing MHOA
Mobile Home Owners of America, Inc.
Since 1966
Mobile Home Owners of America is a volunteer, non profit organization of people who own and reside in mobile/manufactured homes, in parks or on private property. MHOA was organized in the State of Washington in January, 1966. Membership is open to individuals who own mobile/manufactured homes or organizations who demonstrate an interest in the mobile/manufactured housing way of life. We engage in political and legislative activities by lobbying and assist MHOA chapters in understanding their rights under the law.
The purpose and objective that guides MHOA was designed with a concern for improving the quality of life for all mobile home owners, and also promoting the health, safety and welfare of the owners of mobile/manufactured homes. MHOA's major activities center around:
- Encouraging resident homeowners in parks to form a chapter, centering on the importance of how this allows the residents to speak united when dealing with park problems.
- Offer guidance to chapters or individual members when issues arise between residents and park management or park owners.
- Educate people who live in mobile/manufactured home communities as to the rights afforded to them by law. (RCW 59.20 The Mobile/Manufactured Home Landlord Tenant Act.)
- Monitor, initiate and promote legislation relating to mobile/manufactured homes and speaking as an organized voice for homeowners to Government.
- Help mobile/manufactured home owners help themselves in a variety of different ways.
- Provide the basic guidance for exercising the residents option for Right of First Refusal.
- Provide park purchase information and assistance.
The Duvall Highlands Homeowners Association MHOA representative is Sylvia McGahuey. We are presently working with the resources provided by MHOA to further our interests in possibly purchasing the Duvall Highlands Mobile Home Park. To be considered as a possible shareholder in the park purchase, it is important that you maintain a membership with MHOA as well as the Duvall Highlands Homeowners Association.
