Under 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.2, the Illinois Department of Public Health is directed to lead the creation of a statewide relocation plan for manufactured home and mobile home owners who are forced to move because their community is sold for a different use or is closed. The plan must be developed collaboratively with legislators, home owners, park owners, and their representative organizations, with both the Department of Public Health and the Illinois Housing Development Authority contributing their respective expertise. Required elements of the plan include special counseling for displaced residents, provisions addressing their shelter and relocation needs, and the establishment of a Manufactured Housing Relocation Fund, with the completed plan and any proposed legislation due to legislative leadership by October 1, 2011.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Owners and operators of manufactured home communities or mobile home parks in Illinois should be aware that 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.2 establishes a state-level framework specifically designed to address the displacement of residents when a park is sold for a non-park use or ceases operations. Compliant community owners and their statewide organizations are expected to participate in the collaborative planning process described in this provision. Operators who anticipate a sale or closure generally stay informed about the Manufactured Housing Relocation Fund and any related legislation that emerged from this planning process, as those measures may carry their own obligations.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 765 Ill. Comp. Stat. 742 § 14.2 reflects Illinois's recognition that manufactured home and mobile home residents face unique vulnerabilities when their community is sold or closed, and it establishes a framework intended to address those needs through counseling, relocation assistance, and a dedicated Manufactured Housing Relocation Fund. Residents who are facing displacement due to a park sale or closure may have access to resources and protections that grew out of this planning mandate. Tenant-rights organizations and legal aid services familiar with Illinois manufactured housing law can help residents understand what assistance programs or legislative protections may be available under the framework this provision set in motion.
