Marjorie Neff has been a manufactured homeowner since 2000 and planned to retire from a long career in nursing in 2007 to enjoy a relaxing retirement in the home of her dreams. Unfortunately a notice that her manufactured housing community would be closing in 12 months soon put paid to dreams of relaxation and Neff suddenly found herself leading the charge to save not only her home but those of her neighbors and friends in College Street Mobile Home Park. Neff will talk about the struggles and perseverance it took to pull all the pieces together so that she and her friends and neighbors are now the proud owners of Hidden Village (formerly College Street Mobile Home Park). She will explain the process involved to form a homeowner’s association/cooperative and how together with experts in the field she now has peace of mind that her home and her community have been preserved as affordable homeownership for at least the next 40 years.
