The Manufactured Homes Action Plan is designed to provide a plan to address the redevelopment threats facing manufactured home communities in Orange County. The Plan is a collaborative effort between the Towns of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Hillsborough, and Orange County that outlines specific objectives, strategies, action steps, partners and resource needs to address the redevelopment threat facing manufactured home communities. If we are successful in implementing this action plan, we will:

  1. Preserve manufactured home communities.

  2. Minimize resident displacement due to redevelopment.

  3. Create a Relocation Assistance Package to provide meaningful relocation assistance options for residents seeking displacement.

Resident engagement has been the foundation for strategies that have been developed by partners to address the needs of the MHCs and continues to be with this Action Plan. Resident engagement has included in person meetings, focus groups, and surveys to understand the housing needs and preferences of manufactured home residents in the county.

The Town initiated efforts in the winter of 2017 to develop a Manufactured Home Strategy to address the redevelopment threat of the manufactured home communities in Chapel Hill. The foundation for this strategy involved proactively engaging residents and owners of the Town’s four manufactured home communities to develop potential solutions that are responsive to residents’ needs and interests.  After extensive engagement, the Town created Manufactured Home Strategy.
