The Department of Public Health shall facilitate the development of a plan to address the relocation efforts of manufactured home or mobile home owners who are compelled to relocate due to (i) the sale of the manufactured home community or mobile home park in which they live to a person or entity which will use the property for a use other than as a manufactured home community or mobile home park or (ii) the closure of or the cessation of the operation of the manufactured home community or mobile home park in which they live. The plan shall be developed in cooperation with members of the General Assembly, manufactured home owners, mobile home owners, manufactured home community owners, mobile home park owners, and the respective statewide organizations that represent manufactured home owners, mobile home owners, manufactured home community owners, or mobile home park owners. Both the Illinois Department of Public Health and the Illinois Housing Development Authority will participate in this collaborative effort by providing office space for meetings and information on matters that arise in which the agencies have expertise, such as issues relating to public health and options for affordable housing, respectively. The plan shall include provisions for the special counseling of manufactured home or mobile home owners displaced from the manufactured home community or mobile home park in which they live; the relocation or shelter needs of displaced manufactured home or mobile home owners; and the creation of a Manufactured Housing Relocation Fund. The plan may include proposed legislation.
