  • HAP is onthe Way! (Homeowners Assistance Fund)
    2024/08/09

    This is something you should see and share with your neighbors. Join me as I talk with Ryan Vanden Brink from the Homeowner Assistance Fund. Known as HAP, they can provide lot rent assistance to homeowners who own their manufactured homes. They must be winding the program down and are only accepting new applications submitted by (free) housing counselors for homeowners getting close to foreclosure or lot rent eviction. With that limited scope in mind, if this is you, they invite you to reach out.

    Here are links to learn more about the program, and the Housing Counselor in your County.
    Please share this with anyone you know in this situation. Applicants can be accepted, as of this date, through October. Please check the website for the latest updates.

  • Inside OSTA-Meet the Board. Part One with Attorney Matthew Johnson
    2024/07/09

    What happens when the fight for tenants' rights crosses international borders? Join us as we uncover the fascinating journey of Matthew Johnson, a dedicated attorney and board member of the Oregon State Tenants Association (OSTA). From his early days navigating the legal landscape at Legal Aid in Lane County, Oregon, to practicing law in Micronesia, Matthew's path is nothing short of inspiring. Listen in as he shares his transformation into a key advocate for urgent tenant cases, his specialization in park law for manufactured home communities, and his commitment to representing unions, all while being deeply involved with OSTA since the late '90s.

    Discover the pressing challenges mobile home park residents and apartment dwellers face in today's volatile rental market. We dive deep into critical issues such as rent increases, rent control, and the shift in park ownership to large investment companies. Matthew sheds light on how these changes affect maintenance, infrastructure, and living conditions, particularly for low-income residents. Learn about the legal intricacies involved in managing community issues, from illegal activities to the often ineffective legal procedures that result in minimal penalties. Stay tuned to find out how you can get involved with OSTA and keep informed through their newsletter.
