The MHCCV is a statewide resource for residents of Virginia’s manufactured home communities. One thing we provide to interested communities are the following free group educational trainings, in both English and Spanish.

Know Your Rights (Manufactured Home Edition)
This training gives residents a look at the state laws which set the standards of manufactured home communities in Virginia, as well as their rights as tenants of these communities which are enshrined in the law.
Whether you rent or own your home, it is important to know your legal rights as a resident so you can recognize if they are being violated.
Typically the training is presented with help from attorneys from the Virginia Poverty Law Center, and usually runs for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
***It is illegal for a landlord or property manager to retaliate against an individual or a group of residents for learning or attempting to learn about their legal rights. Please contact us if you or your community are being retaliated against.
Resident Associations 101
This training explains in detail the concept of a resident association and how to form one. It should be noted that a resident association is completely different from a homeowners association.
A resident association is a group of residents living together in the same community who have come together as a unified group to advocate for themselves and make specific demands for the community. Resident associations aren’t specific to manufactured home communities, and can include all people living in a community whether they are renting or own their home.
Typically the training is presented with help from attorneys from the Virginia Poverty Law Center, and usually runs for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
