Hi, I’m ___________ and I live in ________________. Housing costs continue to rise. Without protections for our seniors and other people on limited income, homelessness will continue to increase in Montgomery County.
That is why I urge you, Gov. Shapiro, to declare a state of emergency for housing. This can help stop the price gouging of seniors in places like Limerick Township, where Willow Run has enacted a 50 percent hike on lot rent!
Please take action. Thank you,
Call or email the chairs of the PA Senate and House committees on Housing Affairs. Urge them to move any bills related to the regulation of manufactured homes lot rent:

Thank you for your leadership on housing this year. New supportive housing in Norristown, Lansdale, and Pottstown will go a long way to get people off the streets and into a safe home. However, we need to do more to stop outrageous increases in rental prices, which worsen our housing crises for otherwise stable residents.
Did you know that the owner of a 55+ community in Limerick Township, Willow Run, is increasing the lot rent a whopping 50 percent on September 1st?
Please join me in calling on Gov. Josh Shapiro to enact a housing emergency declaration to stop this price gouging. While there may not be a hurricane to respond to, financial displacements and evictions are just as dangerous to public health and our local economy.
Sincerely,
