Brownsville, Texas, Thursday, November 5, 2009. The Silver Lining Foundation and Royal Poinciana Mobile Home Park have teamed up to provide extremely affordable new and like new fully furnished manufactured homes and park models to individuals and families in need at Royal Poinciana Mobile Home Park which is located at 5236 East 14th Street (Padre Island Blvd) in Brownsville, Texas.
“This is a new and exciting program that will provide a limited number of fully furnished (and fully ADA accessible if required) three bedroom one bathroom manufactured homes and two bedroom one bathroom park models to individuals and families in need” says The Silver Lining Foundation Founder and Executive Director, Michael Turner. “Through this program we will be able to offer these units for around $7,500, which is a small fraction of their retail cost of $38,500 to $48,500” added Turner.
The final prices of the units, which will be fully installed, hooked up and ready to move into, complete with appliances, beds, a couch and other furnishings, will vary slightly depending upon whether the units are manufactured homes or park models, and what degree of accessibility each unit will require, such as wheelchair ramps, etc. In addition to the up front cost of the unit, there will be a $75/month administrative charge payable to The Silver Lining Foundation for the 18 month compliance period required by the government for this program. Additionally there will be a long term lease required by the park. Click here for more details.
“This is a real win-win situation” says Rosalinda Salinas, manager of Royal Poinciana Mobile Home Park. “By working with The Silver Lining Foundation and putting up the funds to get the units in place, the park is providing much needed affordable housing for those in need, while at the same time providing a way for the resort to fill vacant lots with permanent tenants who will be welcome members of our great community” she added.
The Silver Lining Foundation is offering variations of this program throughout Texas and Louisiana to hurricane disaster victims, low income families, the homeless, families with at-risk children, victims of domestic violence, persons with severe mental illness, persons with HIV/AIDS and to households with children in need of lead based paint remediation.
