Fund the fight to hold housing regulators accountable and protect mobile home residents
Mobile home residents are being squeezed by rising rents, unsafe conditions, and unchecked corporate power. Now, the Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency has been exposed as a mobile home park owner whose own properties are plagued by neglect and disrepair.
This is exactly why Americans for Financial Reform has spent years warning that manufactured housing has become a target for predatory investors. Private equity and corporate landlords raise rents, delay repairs, and rely on government-backed financing to make the model profitable, while residents pay more for less.
When the top federal housing finance regulator is personally tied to rundown parks, it undermines public trust and weakens enforcement across the entire housing system. Regulators cannot protect residents if they profit from the same abusive practices they are supposed to stop.
AFR is fighting to expose these conflicts, demand accountability, and push for reforms that shift power away from Wall Street-style investors and toward residents, including stronger guardrails on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac financing, protections from unjust rent increases, and support for resident-owned community models.
Your contribution helps fuel the research, advocacy, and public pressure needed to force real change and protect some of the most vulnerable housing residents in the country.
Contribute to Americans for Financial Reform and fund the fight to protect mobile home residents and hold abusive housing investors accountable.
