THE WMA CONVENTION IS BACK — And it’s Better than Ever!
While the world is reeling back from the effects of the COVID19
outbreak, WMA at all times continued to assist our members
whether it was by helping to sort through new legislation and
public policies or getting the correct forms to you or continuing
business as usual. Like most people, we were hoping that when the
clock struck midnight on New Year’s morning, that we would
somehow skip ahead by leaps and bounds and leave COVID19 and 2020
behind. The pandemic impacted the way we lived, worked and
played.

Western Manufactured Housing Communities Association (WMA) is a
nonprofit organization created in 1945 for the exclusive purpose
of promoting and protecting the interests of owners, operators
and developers of manufactured home communities in California.
AB 832, COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act (CTRA) will expire on
September 30, 2021. The Legislature did not extend the Eviction
Moratorium and is adjourned until January 3, 2022. Therefore,
parkowners need to take steps now to ensure they are in a
position to move forward to deal with residents who have failed
to pay the rent.
At the California Department of Housing and Community
Development, we work to protect the health and safety of
residents living in mobilehome parks by inspecting all park
common areas, buildings, lots, exterior portions of manufactured
homes and mobilehomes, and accessory structures within the parks.
This National Fair Housing Month, the California Department of
Housing and Community Development (HCD) is pleased to release
updated Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing
(AFFH) Guidance
Memo along with a new interactive AFFH Data
Viewer.

Association (CAA) – Gov. Newsom today announced his intent
to pay rental housing providers 100% of rent that’s gone unpaid
because of COVID-19.
Economists say small property owners have been uniquely pinched
by the pandemic as renters move out or stop paying. Despite a
federally mandated mortgage forbearance and $2.6 billion in
rental relief from the state, some landlords who slip through the
cracks wonder how much longer they can absorb the costs.
