Abstract
Vermont’s mobile home parks serve as a vital form of affordable housing, as 10% of the population resides within them. In 2011, Tropical Storm Irene flooded 17 parks in Vermont which exacerbated the existing social vulnerabilities faced by their residents. Secondary data analysis and a case study approach were the primary mechanisms for understanding the complexity of mobile homes parks since Irene. The vulnerabilities faced by mobile home park residents include continued maintenance, financial commitment, and stigmatization. The current threat of housing affordability and climate change puts many Vermont mobile home park residents at risk for the future.
