“I wake up every day in fear – fear that I will lose my home … Along with my fear, I also have a prayer and my prayer is that someone will help us, someone will help us save our homes. City council members, I’m hoping that you will be that someone.”  Jeanne Farrens

Huntington Beach seniors worried over rising rents

Seniors living in Huntington Beach mobile homes say they're worried about losing their homes, since corporations bought the complexes and started raising rents.

​Huntington Beach Overlay Ordinance 4019

In 2014, Huntington Beach adopted Ordinance 4019 called an Overlay which prevents a Senior Mobile Home (MH) Park from being converted into a Family Park. If the park management/owner rents to residents who are under the age requirement and the number of residents under the age requirement totals more than 20% of your park, the MH Park would automatically turn into a Family Park. The City does not actively monitor the Senior Residential Overlay. The provisions of the Overlay provide that each park with the Overlay have procedures to verify and document compliance. The park management/owner must make the documents available to the City if requested.
