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.
WMA is implementing several technology upgrades – including a new
website and learning platform – to enhance the overall membership
experience.
These upgrades will allow members to update their contact
information, log in and access MCM courses, and effectively
manage themselves and their teams.
The WMA Foundation is helping mobilehome park fire victims by
providing them with direct financial assistance. If you would
like to be a part of this humanitarian effort, you may contribute
$2 per space to the WMA Foundation. Please mail your check to the
WMA office at 2295 Gateway Oaks, Suite 240, Sacramento, CA 95833,

January was arguably the busiest first month of a two-year
legislative session in recent history. The wildfires in Los
Angeles County have dominated the legislature’s attention for the
past month, and lawmakers are busy trying to figure out how to
grapple with the crisis.
Information Bulletin 2022-12 is issued pursuant to Senate
Bill 1307 (Chapter 669, Statutes of 2022) and informs interested
parties of the process for a city, county, or city and county to
assume enforcement responsibility for the Mobilehome Parks Act
and Special Occupancy Parks Act on behalf of HCD.
The Mobilehome Residency Protection Program (MRLPP) was enacted
in January 2019. It charges the Department of Housing and
Community Development (HCD) to administer the program and begin
billing parkowners $10 per permitted space. Click here to read more on how
the program works and how it will affect your park.
As of January 1, 2024, employers must generally provide 5 days or
40 hours of paid sick leave to their employees in California. The
Labor Commissioner has updated the paid sick leave poster. All
employers should post the new poster. An employer previously
providing less than 5 days or 40 hours of paid sick leave per
year will need to provide employees a new copy notice.
HCD is updating California’s fair housing plan, also known
as the Analysis of Impediments (AI) to fair housing choice
(background information included below). HCD is hosting
topic-specific listening sessions.
WMA hosts a Zoom chat on the first Thursday of each month.
These informal discussions focus on trending, pertinent topics.
This free event does not require registration. The Zoom link
