Project details
What we need
- Grant Template outlining the Organization’s mission, strategic plan, activities and budget
- Tips and suggestions on customizing Grant Template for specific grants
What we have in place
- We currently have past grant proposals and descriptions of upcoming programs, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have staff, board members and allies with significant in-depth knowledge and experience, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,140 , allowing us to provide 20 scholarships for low- and moderate-income people to attend leadership skills trainings in order to become stronger leaders in their manufactured (mobile) home park communities.
The success of our organization depends on broadening our support beyond a few long-time funders. Without your help, we cannot develop proposals for new funders unfamiliar with our work. Your skills will empower us to make a clear effective case for support to new foundations.

Our mission
We are the nation-wide membership based organization representing and advocating for manufactured home owners.
Mission: The mission of the National Manufactured Home Owners Association (NMHOA) is to promote, represent, preserve, and enhance the rights and interests of manufactured home-owners throughout the United States.
What we do
*17 million people, in the United States, live in manufactured homes
*There are approximately 6.8 million manufactured homes in the U.S and 2.9 million of them (43%) are situated in land lease (privately owned) communities
*In many states manufactured homes are still considered "chattel" and therefore people purchasing manufactured homes do not qualify for the standard financing/loan products or other purchasing safeguards that people purchasing stick built homes have available to them
*While most states have statutes that govern the relationship between community owners and home owners, many of these laws are weak, not enforceable, and not drafted in such a way as to provide security of tenure for manufactured home owners.
* Manufactured housing provides unsubsidized affordable homeownership opportunities for millions of seniors and young families, yet there are very few protections in place to guarantee the long term preservation of manufactured housing communities.
*Some manufactured housing community owners deny their residents the right to form home owners' associations, the right to inform their neighbors of their rights under state law, and in other ways restrict their constitutional rights.
