Residents raise eviction concerns at mobile‑home park; staff to refer tenants to Legal Aid

During public‑comment portions of the work session, several residents described eviction activity at a nearby mobile‑home park and asked the village to facilitate assistance for affected tenants. Speakers said some tenants seek legal representation and that referrals to Legal Aid of Nassau County would be appropriate where residents qualify.

A participant said Legal Aid typically will not take eviction defense cases for residents who live outside the county and that the village may need to refer people to alternate services or legal resources. Council members asked staff to collect case details so the village can better assess what assistance is available and whether Legal Aid or other providers can help.

Speakers emphasized that mobile‑home park residents often face different eviction processes than conventional renters and that the village should coordinate with the county legal aid office where possible. No formal resolution or funding pledge was made; staff were directed to gather details and return with options for tenant outreach and referral pathways.
