Facing a mobile home park closure in Puyallup, housing advocates have rallied to protect residents and address the larger housing crisis.
On August 23rd, the Home in Tacoma For All Coalition hosted a rally in support of the residents of Meridian Mobile Estates. More than 60 community members gathered with the residents and filled the Puyallup Council Chambers to call for the end of an saga of unfair treatment with the eviction of the residents by a company that has purchased the property.
Meridian Mobile Estates is a 42-plot property home to primarily immigrant and working class families, some of which have lived there for decades. Many have invested heavily into their homes, repairing roofs, fixing plumbing, and building ramps for family members with disabilities, among many other home investments. They are living their own version of the American Dream.
