Council members announce Jan. 22 Know‑Your‑Rights clinic for mobile home residents
Summary
Council members said they will host a multilingual know‑your‑rights clinic for mobile home residents on Jan. 22 at the Thornton Community Center in partnership with the Colorado Poverty Law Project and other community leaders.
Council members announced a multilingual know‑your‑rights clinic for mobile home residents to be held Jan. 22 at 6 p.m. at the Thornton Community Center.
Council member Martinez said the event will be hosted using council-allocated community meeting funds and will feature legal help from the Colorado Poverty Law Project. "We are going to use some of those funds ... to provide refreshments and some dinner and snacks for those who come," Martinez said, and added that translation services will be provided by the law project.
Council member Ayala said organizers will distribute flyers and reach out to mobile home residents in parks such as Pine Lakes Ranch and Thornton Estates and that the event is intended to provide residents with information on enforcement options and strategies to work collectively with park management. The clinic is planned as a community-focused, multilingual session with volunteer lawyers from Colorado Poverty Law Project expected to provide detailed assistance.
Martinez and Ayala described the event as an opportunity for residents to learn about rights specific to mobile home communities and to coordinate next steps with legal partners. No council action or vote was taken; the remarks were part of council comments and community outreach updates.
