Residents In Limbo After Mobile Home Park Foreclosure

WBAY-TV Channel 2 (Green Bay, Wisconsin) reports on the plight of 125 mobile home residents in a Fox Valley mobile home park that has reportedly been completely neglected and left in bad shape. The owner of the April Aire Mobile Home Park apparently had been skimming the rent it collected from the residents since he hadn't been making his mortgage payments to the mortgage holder, and recently lost his ownership to foreclosure.

Meanwhile, the local town board is considering an ordinance that could target the park and, at a recent meeting, warned that it could be shut down if it's not cleaned up, effectively forcing everyone to move. On top of all this, no one seems to know what impact the foreclosure will have on them. For more, see Grand Chute Warns Trailer Home Park to Clean Up Its Act.
