Who is AMHRO?  (Association of Manufactured Home Residents in Ohio) AMHRO is the only organization in the State of Ohio that represents the residents within Ohio living in communities and parks.  As an owner of a manufactured home, you are in a unique ownership situation not duplicated anywhere else.  You own your home, but in when in a park or community you also rent someone else’s land. Your financial investment in your home is often greater than the community owner’s investment in your lot, even allowing for a share of the common area. Yet, these community owners have a HUGE influence over your living conditions.  AMHRO’s goal is to help manufactured home owners protect their investment in their homes, to protect their manufactured home quality of life and security for which they have worked so hard.

AMHRO Vision:
Membership   

We need all residents to become members. Through numbers we become stronger and our voice now becomes a shout, not a whisper.

Legislation

We need laws to protect all, not just a few. We were able to have 3 pieces of legislation introduced (HB 290, HB 309 and H 186) but no new laws outlined in these bills have been passed as of this date. We are still working very hard on this process to make it happen.

AMHRO Mission:

To educate and advise residents of their responsibilities, rights and privileges associated with residing in a manufactured home community and how to inform residents how to protect the value and security of their home.  
     1.  To assist residents in developing an organization within their own community 
           Association

2.  To promote health, safety and general welfare of each resident.

3.  To be an organization that is willing to use all available resources to bring about
      change that will improve the lives of residents.

4.  To serve as an avenue to channel information and to serve as a source to educate
      every resident about their rights as residents of manufactured home communities.
