SMMRA (San Marcos Mobilehome Residents Association) was conceived to amalgamate all manufactured-home owners into one cooperative to fight unilateral demands by park owners' excessive rent increases, inadequate maintenance and reluctance of residents to form homeowners associations and Rules & Regulation Committees (neither park-owners nor their management are eligible). SMMRA has often filed grievances before the City Council Chambers prompting a hearing that resulted in favor of the residents. Until SMMRA, mobilehome-owners were at the mercy of the park-owners not abiding by California Mobilehome Residency Law (MRL) or City Ordinances.

SMMRA’s Board of Directors is comprised of representatives from individual manufactured home communities in the city and officers elected by the Board. To qualify as a park representative, an authorization letter from your park Homeowner Association is required. SMMRA holds both Board meetings and General meetings. SMMRA members are welcome to attend Board meetings as observers and any MH owner can attend General meetings. Contact John Mosher at info@smmra.org for meeting information.

SMMRA Political Action Committee (PAC) regularly updates its members to recommend action for or against proposed legislation and/or ordinances affecting mobile-home living and often sponsors a "CANDIDATE FORUM" during an election year where City, County, and State candidates running for an office present their views and capabilities, and answer questions to their positions on manufactured-home living.

SMMRA joins forces with allies throughout California to strengthen manufactured-home-owners rights:

Golden State Manufactured-home Owner League (GSMOL)
San Marcos Chamber of Commerce (SMCC)
