Mobile Homes

As more tornadoes rip through "Dixie Alley" in the American Southeast, people who live in manufactured housing find it difficult to withstand the storms and their aftermath.

The fears of Buena Vista Mobile Home Park residents, who could be displaced to make room for luxury apartments, aren't theirs alone. In many parks, residents, who often own their homes but not the land under them, are treated as second-class citizens.
