We Do Small Things With Great Love

Welcome to

Mr. Mike's Neighborhood

My name is Mr. Mike, and along with Miss Linda, we'd like to Welcome you to Mr. Mike's Neighborhood.  Some of you may recognize me from my walks around the park, or others may have passed by my beautiful garden.  But I'm a 14 year resident, own my home, and am planning on spending my later years in this beautiful park.  And it's for this reason that I started Mr. Mike's Neighborhood.  I want every resident to enjoy this Community as much as I do; to know your neighbors, to take pride in your Community, to have a vested interest in making your, and your neighbors time here as memorable as possible.  And to know that you had a hand in it.

Why Can't Mobile Home Residents Be Treated Like Brick Home Residents

Mobile homes have long been a popular housing option for many individuals and families across the United States. These homes were supposed to offer a more affordable alternative to traditional brick homes, allowing individuals to own their own property without breaking the bank. However, despite the benefits that mobile homes provide, residents of these homes are often treated differently than those who live in brick homes. This raises the question: why can't mobile home residents be treated like brick home residents?  Read More...

 

Is Sun Communities Looked at

as a Slum Lord

Sun Communities is the second largest owners of manufactured housing communities in the country. However, despite its size and success, the company has faced criticism and allegations of being a "slum lord" in the eyes of some residents and advocacy groups.

It didn't take long for Mr. Mike's Neighborhood to realize the needs of his Community, and the desire to help.  From the very beginning, Mr. Mike made it his goal to try and create a better Community, a

Community where Neighborhoods are developed and residents are brought together for a common goal, to experience a better quality of life.

Mr. Mike's Neighborhood doesn't concentrate on creating events, since money is always at a minimum.   They don't charge membership fees or ask for donations, so the Association is self-funded.  But what they lack in creating fun, they make up with a true humanitarian effort like changing our Seniors smoke detector batteries, ceiling light bulbs and furnace filter.  Mr. Mike and Miss Linda make Lafayette Place Mobile Home Park a better place to live.  For his Neighbors he's only a phone call away.

YOUR HOSTS

 

Mr. Mike has been a resident at Lafayette Place for over 14 years.  He started Mr. Mike's Neighborhood 3 years ago which has provided his Neighbors with food, clothing, toys and more.  He has dedicated his life to helping his Neighbors have a wonderful experience while here.

 

Miss Linda has been a resident at Lafayette Place for over 36 years.  Her expertise in working with Section 8 housing added a special quality to Mr. Mike's Neighborhood.  She has helped many Neighbors navigate their way through mobile home living and has proven to be an asset in every way.

Neighbors can find the library and food pantry's at #828

When we learned that the children in our area were reading way below grade level, we created the Free Children's Library.

When we realized that even food stamps didn't go a long way for some of our Neighbors, we created the Free Food Pantry to fill that need.

When we learned that the children in our area weren't getting enough fruit in their diets, we created the Free Fruit Pantry to make our kids healthier.

These Pantry's are to benefit the

entire Community.  We would appreciate our

Neighbor's help in keeping them full.

Porch Pirate Pickup Program

Porch pirates take advantage of packages left outside your home when no one is there to receive them. So we created the Porch Pirate Pickup Program.

Once you receive information that your package has been delivered, just text me your name and house number and we will pick it up, free of charge as always.

 

Once you return home just drop by #828 to retrieve your package.  Our program can decrease theft in our Community by 100%.

Neighbor's Giving Days

Throughout the week we receive donations of books, food, clothing, toys and much more from our Neighbors who give back to their Community.  On Saturday and Sunday, weather and donation volume permitting, you'll experience the generosity that exists within Lafayette Place Mobile Home Park with their gifts.

 

To donate clothing, have them washed, folded and placed in a bag.  You can leave all donations on my porch at #828.

 

All items displayed are always free.
