Boulder County is committed to preserving manufactured and mobile homes as an affordable housing option for community members. The Department of Housing has launched the Mobile Home Communities Program to repair and rehabilitate manufactured and mobile homes throughout the county, focusing on health and safety measures, energy efficiency, code compliance, and accessibility.
Boulder County has partnered with the City of Boulder to help carry out this work.
In partnership with the county, the Boulder County Housing Authority (BCHA) is using $300,000 in funding to address immediate life and safety issues at 224 Seward Street, a 14-unit mobile home community in Lyons. Long term, the county and BCHA will be working with the residents and the Town of Lyons to make improvements to the property and maintain the affordability of the homes.
The Mobile Home Communities Program coordinates with staff from other county departments, sharing information about programs and work being performed in communities, and collaborating around outreach. Staff meet monthly to update other departments on recent and upcoming activities. One of the goals is to have a single point of contact for the county and to have programs coordinate when they will be working in communities.
The county will provide the Sans Souci Co-Op with a forgivable, $1 million loan to replace its wastewater treatment facility, which is currently located in the floodplain next to South Boulder Creek. The new facility will be moved out of the floodplain and will provide clean water for 60 households.
On December 31, 2021, more than 400 manufactured homes suffered damage from the Straight-Line Wind Event that drove the Marshall Fire. Boulder County has obtained $2 million from the Community Development Block Grant – Disaster Recovery program from the State of Colorado’s Department of Local Affairs to be used to address the damage sustained by mobile homes as a direct result of that event.
In partnership with the City of Boulder, the county is working with impacted community members to repair the damage, make homes more resilient for extreme weather events, and help people save money on their energy bills.
The Boulder County Commissioners set aside $5 million of American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funding for residents to purchase the mobile home communities they live in, improve infrastructure within resident-owned communities, and complete necessary home repair and rehabilitation work. Since the Mobile Home Communities Program launched in 2023, Boulder County has completed the following:
In 2023, Boulder County partnered with the University of Colorado Boulder on a comprehensive survey to gauge residents’ priorities, needs, and satisfaction regarding life in local manufactured and mobile home communities. The survey was designed to ensure that Mobile Home Communities Program funds are distributed fairly and effectively, addressing the diverse needs of manufactured and mobile home community residents.
The surveys – distributed to manufactured and mobile home communities in the cities of Longmont and Lafayette – received 252 responses from residents representing a diverse cross-section of Boulder County. The survey gathered insights on needed home repairs, ownership status, potential interest in purchasing the mobile home community, transportation challenges, and utility services. Additionally, it assessed the park’s infrastructure and the accessibility of community spaces.
To create and distribute the survey, the Boulder County Housing Department partnered with the University of Colorado’s Department of Geography and Promotoras de Salud from El Centro AMISTAD. Surveyors went door-to-door to gather firsthand feedback on the condition of mobile home residences and common areas. Paper-based and on-line surveys were also distributed.
