Senate Mobilehome Committee to Continue under New Chair

Senator Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) today announced that he has been appointed by Senate Pro Tem Leader Don Perata as the new chair of the Senate Select Committee on Mobile and Manufactured Homes.
“With a million or more people living in manufactured homes in California,” the new chairman said, “I am pleased the Senate leadership has chosen to continue the committee that has served as a resource for information and assistance to legislators, staff and their constituents on mobilehome issues for the past 23 years.”
“I also look forward,” said Senator Correa, “to continuing the fine work of Joe Dunn and his predecessors in trying to bring resolution and fairness to the issues facing our mobile and manufactured housing communities.”
Senator Correa serves the 34th district in Orange County, which includes all or parts of the cities of Anaheim, Buena Park, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Santa Ana, Stanton and Westminster and has some 86 mobilehome parks housing about 20,000 residents. A former Orange County Supervisor and former member of the State Assembly, Senator Correa is familiar with mobilehome issues, having served as chair of the Assembly Mobilehome Committee in the Assembly from 1999 through 2002.
