MORE THAN 20 YEARS OF HELPING MANUFACTURED HOME COMMUNITIES

The mission of the Delaware Manufactured Homeowners Association (DMHOA) is to educate and inform our members, our public servants and the public regarding Title 25, Chapter 70 of Delaware Law and any issues affecting homeowners on leased land.  To work for legislative and legal remedies to protect and strengthen the rights of homeowners who live in manufactured housing on lease land in Communities having 2 lots or more in Delaware.

We maintain a direct communication network among state homeowner advocacy groups and serve as your voice at the state level, with the help of several powerful partner organizations who support our mission. In addition, we are against unfair eviction or loss of homes due to the closure of communities, homeowners deserve peace of mind and security in knowing they will have the opportunity to “age in place” rather than being displaced. 

In some respects, there is also a parallel meaning to the better-known term “homeland security” in that many of our counterparts are unfairly subjected to insidious forms of economic and psychological terrorism by community owners and managers, which can take a devastating toll on one’s health and well-being. “Equity for All” reflects our feeling that a partnership exists between homeowners and landowners in manufactured home communities and homeowners deserve to have the equity in their investments protected and to be treated equitably. This is why you need to be a voice of one with a Home Owners Association. It gives you many things to help support your rights:
