Latino residents of mobile home parks in Ohio and Colorado have filed lawsuits and complaints over poor living conditions and alleged discriminatory practices by park management. Residents claim violations of state laws, including poor maintenance, unfair rent increases, and discriminatory conduct.
Mobile home parks have become increasingly popular among low-income families, especially Latino immigrants, as they offer more affordable housing options. About 1.32 million of the 7.22 million mobile home residents in the U.S. — or 18% — identify as Hispanic, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development's 2023 American Housing Survey.
