The Housing Solutions Committee Meeting held on October 3, 2025, in Clallam County, Washington, focused on several key topics related to housing challenges in the area. The meeting included discussions about mobile home parks, community involvement, and the upcoming World Habitat Day.
One of the main topics was the potential changes in ownership of local mobile home parks. A committee member expressed interest in joining a subcommittee dedicated to mobile home parks, highlighting concerns about residents' ability to purchase these properties. The member noted that if residents attempted to buy the parks, they would face the challenge of raising their own lot rents to make the purchase financially viable.
Additionally, the meeting acknowledged the significance of World Habitat Day, which falls on the first Monday of October. This day, established by the United Nations in 1985, emphasizes the right to adequate shelter for all and encourages collective responsibility for urban development. To commemorate this occasion, the committee announced a second annual World Habitat Day breakfast scheduled for October 6 at Sequim Community Church.
The discussions underscored the ongoing efforts of the Housing Solutions Committee to address housing issues in Clallam County, particularly regarding mobile home residents and the broader community's role in ensuring adequate housing for all. The meeting concluded with a call for continued engagement and collaboration among committee members and the community.
