Report
Summary
Residents of mobile home communities throughout the City of Phoenix have faced displacement due to the redevelopment of mobile home park sites. Residents of three communities, including Periwinkle, Weldon Court, and Las Casitas, are under imminent threat of displacement. Many residents of these communities have contacted City of Phoenix to seek assistance.
In response to these concerns and in coordination with the Mayor and City Council, an internal work group was formed on Sept. 28, 2022, to determine how the City of Phoenix can assist families facing imminent displacement and to identify measures to reduce this risk in the future. The resulting research report from the internal work group was issued Nov. 25, 2022. An updated research report (Attachment A) was issued on Feb. 23, 2023, to address the current status of the Emergency Housing Vouchers.
