CoMo-CAL — Advocates For You

  CoMO-LAC: THE BEGINNING

 CoMO-LAC, an advocacy group for Los Angeles County, was born from a need.  A need to enforce of the Mobilehome Residency Law in our local area. Many of us suffer mistreatment in our parks. Many are afraid, intimidated, harassed, and taken advantage of. Isn’t it time to organize to stop these immoral and illegal practices.

 Mobile home owners here in Southern California had no support group and needed help. Our first meeting was held on October 2, 2004. This was a working meeting to form a new Coalition to help mobile home owners at the local level. Read our  Welcome Letter.  We began as an idea patterned after a county-wide group in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco. Sonoma County Mobilehome Owners Association (SCMOA) has been active for over 17 years. Their past president, Elaine Hostetter, was instrumental in the formation of our county wide group, CoMO-LAC and we are grateful for her contribution.

 November 15, 2004 the Articles of Incorporation for CoMO-LAC  were filed with the Secretary of State.Remember, at this point in time, we were a COUNTY WIDE ADVOCACY GROUP, serving Los Angleles County.

  CoMO-CAL:  SERVING ALL of CALIFORNIA

We wanted to expand our services to all of California. Our idea was to have county groups form, such as CoMO-Sacramento, CoMO-Ventura and so forth with their own local boards. All would be under the umbrella of CoMO-CAL. On March 1, 2006 a tally of ballots sent in by members of CoMO-LAC showed almost all members to be in favor of expanding statewide as CoMO-CAL.  Today, CoMO-CAL is a non-profit, public benefit corporation whose specific purpose is to promote the general welfare of manufactured / mobilehome owners in the State of California.

Today we have members in over 500 mobile home parks.  Our goal is to have at least one CoMO-CAL representative in every park across California.  This will allow us to reach all mobilehome owners in California.  

We continue to identify other, smaller groups, who are active in their own communities and are working to network with them.
