<div>We are the homeowners of Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park in Carbondale, Colorado—a vibrant, working-class, workforce community in the heart of the Roaring Fork Valley. We’ve just been notified that the land our homes sit on is being sold for $15,500,000. This has launched us into an urgent, time-sensitive effort to purchase the property ourselves—before it’s sold to a for-profit investor who could displace our families and disrupt the essential workforce that supports the Aspen/Snowmass resort economy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In Carbondale, Colorado—where the cost of living continues to soar and working families are increasingly priced out—Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park stands as one of the last remaining truly affordable housing communities. Now, it's at risk.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For years, many of us have faced rising lot rents, with long-time residents seeing their monthly payments go from $450 to over $1,000. Newer residents are now paying as much as $1,500/month. This has made it nearly impossible for families to save, plan, or feel secure. And now, with corporations circling to buy our park, we’re terrified of what could come next—more rent hikes or even eviction.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are organizing to purchase the land together as a cooperative, but we need your help to raise critical funds to start this process and to contribute toward the purchase itself.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Families have lived here for an average of 16 years, with many having called Mountain Valley home for 20 years or more—some for as long as over 30 years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Residents are essential workers—construction crews, housekeepers, landscapers, caregivers—who keep this valley running and providing essential services to the region.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This park is home to over 60 children whose displacement would directly impact local schools. It’s also home to senior citizens and veterans—a multigenerational community where families live side by side, supporting one another across generations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This park is one of the last options for affordable, workforce housing in a town where median home prices exceed $1 million.
</div>
<div>We are the backbone of the local workforce, powering the tourism economy, our schools, healthcare, and small businesses.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We need support to build a path to community ownership. With your help, we can cover the legal, technical, and organizing costs to form a resident-owned cooperative and make an offer on the land. But forming a co-op and making a viable offer to purchase the park requires up-front funding for legal assistance, engineering studies, due diligence, and technical support from organizations who specialize in resident ownership transitions.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help us Preserve Affordable Housing
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will directly support:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Legal support
</div>
<div>Co-op formation and resident education
</div>
<div>Financial and grant application assistance
</div>
<div>Down payment and purchase of the land
</div>
<div>Your support helps keep Carbondale a place where working families can afford to live.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please donate today—and stand with us in protecting one of the last truly affordable communities in the Roaring Fork Valley.

<div>Somos los propietarios de trailas en Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park, ubicado en Carbondale, Colorado—una comunidad trabajadora y esencial para la fuerza laboral del Valle de Roaring Fork. Recientemente nos informaron que el terreno sobre el que se encuentran nuestros hogares se está vendiendo por $15,500,000. Esta noticia nos ha llevado a una acción urgente y a contrarreloj de 120 días para intentar comprar el terreno nosotros mismos—antes de que sea vendido a un inversionista con fines de lucro que podría desplazar a nuestras familias y afectar la fuerza laboral que sostiene la economía turística de Aspen/Snowmass.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En Carbondale—donde el costo de vida continúa aumentando y las familias trabajadoras están siendo desplazadas—Mountain Valley Mobile Home Park sigue siendo una de las últimas comunidades verdaderamente asequibles. Ahora, está en riesgo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Durante años, muchos de nosotros hemos enfrentado aumentos constantes en el alquiler del lote. Residentes de largo plazo han visto subir sus pagos mensuales de $450 a más de $1,000, y los residentes más recientes están pagando hasta $1,500 al mes. Esto ha hecho casi imposible ahorrar, planificar o sentir seguridad. Y ahora, con corporaciones interesadas en comprar el parque, tenemos miedo de lo que pueda venir—más aumentos, o incluso desalojos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nos estamos organizando para comprar el terreno colectivamente como una cooperativa, pero necesitamos tu ayuda para recaudar fondos fundamentales que nos permitan iniciar este proceso y contribuir también a la compra misma del terreno.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>¿Por Qué Es Importante?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Las familias han vivido aquí un promedio de 16 años, y muchas han llamado hogar a Mountain Valley durante 20, 30 años o más.
</div>
<div>Los residentes son trabajadores esenciales— trabajando en construcción, limpieza, jardinería, y el cuidado—que hacen posible el funcionamiento del valle y proveen servicios vitales a la región.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este parque alberga a más de 60 niños, y su desplazamiento tendría un impacto directo en nuestras escuelas locales. También es hogar de adultos mayores y veteranos, una comunidad multigeneracional.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Es una de las últimas opciones de vivienda asequible para trabajadores en un pueblo donde el precio medio de una vivienda supera el millón de dólares.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Somos la columna vertebral de la fuerza laboral local, impulsando la economía turística, las escuelas, el sistema de salud y los pequeños negocios.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tu Apoyo Es Crucial
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Necesitamos apoyo para construir un camino hacia la propiedad comunitaria. Con tu ayuda, podremos cubrir los costos legales, técnicos y organizativos necesarios para formar una cooperativa de residentes y presentar una oferta formal para comprar el parque.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tu donación apoyará directamente:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Asesoría legal
</div>
<div>Formación de la cooperativa y educación para los residentes
</div>
<div>Asistencia financiera y gestión de solicitudes de subvenciones
</div>
<div>Pago inicial y compra del terreno
</div>
<div>Tu apoyo ayuda a que Carbondale siga siendo un lugar donde las familias trabajadoras puedan vivir con dignidad y estabilidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por favor dona hoy—y únete a nosotros en la protección de una de las últimas comunidades verdaderamente asequibles del Valle de Roaring Fork.
</div>
<div><br />
