Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84a establishes a fourteen-member Mobile Manufactured Home Advisory Council within Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection, drawing members from government, the legal profession, the banking industry, park owners, the manufactured housing industry, park tenants, and senior citizens. The council is charged with monitoring laws and regulations affecting mobile manufactured homes, promoting them as affordable and safe housing, and running public education efforts to improve their acceptance. Members serve terms tied to the Governor's term, receive no compensation, and can be removed automatically for excessive absences.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84a, mobile manufactured home park owners have a formal seat at the table through the Advisory Council, with three owner representatives appointed through a process that draws from a list submitted by the Connecticut Manufactured Housing Association. Operators who engage with the council's work—such as its public education programs and regulatory monitoring—stay informed about statutory and regulatory developments that may affect park management. Staying aware of council activities and any recommendations it produces is a common practice among compliant, engaged park operators in Connecticut.

Conn. Gen. Stat. § 21-84a guarantees that mobile manufactured home park tenants and their representatives hold three seats on the Advisory Council, with appointees drawn from different geographic areas of the state and nominated through the Connecticut Manufactured Home Owners Alliance. The council's mandate to monitor statutes and regulations affecting manufactured homes means tenants have an institutionalized channel through which their concerns can be raised at the state level. Tenants who want to engage with this process can contact the Connecticut Manufactured Home Owners Alliance or a local tenant-rights organization to learn more about how the council's work may relate to their housing situation.
