Manufactured Housing

A big part of our work involves the preservation and development of manufactured housing. With manufacturing housing making up over 10% of the total housing stock in Montana, these communities represent the largest source of subsidized housing that’s affordable to low-income people. Through our resident owned community (ROC) program, we help homeowners purchase and successfully manage their manufactured home communities.

We also work on other aspects of manufactured housing such as home finance, home rehab for health and aging in place, and quality new manufactured housing construction.

What are resident owned communities?

A resident owned community, or ROC, is a manufactured home community that is owned by the residents who live in the community. Resident homeowners form a corporation to own and operate the community. The corporation is democratically managed, with one vote per household, and the day-to-day operations are overseen by a member-elected board of directors. There are now 21 resident owned communities in Montana and over nationally. Resident ownership is a proven-successful approach for housing preservation and community development.

The benefits of resident ownership include:

  • Housing stability and affordability
  • Security for residents
  • Resident control over maintenance and repairs
  • Improved individual and community health and welfare
  • Increased community safety
  • Resident leadership development
  • Higher resale value of homes
