Creating Community

The Affordable Community Living Corporation’s (ACL) distinct mission is to lessen government burdens by: providing assistance to cities and counties within California, aiding in redevelopment efforts, promoting economic development and eliminating slighting influences. This includes but not limited to assuming the ownership and operation of mobile home parks in order to increase the availability of low and moderate income housing.

 

Our Mission…

Affordable Community Living Corporation’s distinct mission is to lessen government burdens by:

  • Providing assistance to cities and counties within California
  • Aiding in redevelopment efforts, promoting economic development
  • Eliminate blighting influences

ACL accomplishes this in two key ways:

  • Assuming ownership and operation of mobile home parks from cities and counties
  • Increasing the availability of well managed low and moderate income housing

A Word From Our Chairman

In 2016, I joined the Board of Directors after retiring from ownership of a CPA firm for over 40 years. For the past 20 years, I have been involved with the manufactured housing industry and fully support the ongoing efforts of Affordable Community Living (ACL) as they strive to assist families in finding a place to call home.

I wish to express my sincere gratitude to our former Chairman of the Board, Garry Edmundson, who passed away in September 2016, for his knowledgeable leadership in maintaining the ideals which ACL has established in the communities that it owns and operates. His leadership has helped ACL assist thousands of low to moderate income families improve their standard of living and realize their own American dream of home ownership, while easing the burden to local government.

Whether you have experience in this industry or not, I invite you to partner with us as we seek to create community for those in need. To give financially or donate goods or services, please feel free to contact us.
