Residents of the Post Mobile Home Park voiced their concerns at a recent government meeting, highlighting significant issues related to rising rents and inadequate communication from management. Sandra Duran, a resident, expressed frustration over the towing of vehicles without proper notice. She emphasized the need for the city to address these problems and assist the community, which is facing increased living costs.
Melissa Totten, another resident, shared her personal struggle with rent hikes. She reported that her monthly rent jumped from $745 to $1,330, despite assurances that increases would cease. Totten criticized the management for charging all residents the same utility fees, regardless of household size, which she argued is unfair to families with fewer members. She described the financial strain on low-income residents, including her own challenges with unemployment and health issues.
Javier Silva, a community worker, expressed disappointment with the city's lack of action to support the residents of the mobile home park. He highlighted the importance of inclusivity and understanding in a diverse community. Silva called for the city to utilize its resources to help the families facing potential homelessness due to rising costs.
The meeting underscored the urgent need for local government intervention to address the concerns of vulnerable residents in the Post Mobile Home Park.
