News 6<\/a> has highlighted how large companies and investment firms have purchased mobile home parks across Central Florida \u2014 often raising lot fees and pricing out longtime residents.<\/p>\n\u201cYear after year, these equity firms are raising the lot price where they are unable to afford it,\u201d said Orange County Commissioner Mayra Uribe.<\/p>\n
The legislation aims to help residents build wealth and maintain long-term housing stability in the face of those rising costs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in a country where increasingly there are so few that have so much, and so many of our people who have so little,\u201d Frost added.<\/p>\n
Still, the proposal faces uncertainty on Capitol Hill. With Democrats currently in the minority, passing the bill could prove challenging.<\/p>\n
Frost, however, remains optimistic about bipartisan support.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy hope is it will be bipartisan. Like I said, this isn\u2019t a Democratic thing \u2014 this is a people thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As housing affordability continues to be a growing concern, supporters say the bill represents a potential pathway to keeping residents in their homes \u2014 and giving them a stronger stake in their communities.<\/p>\n
