Supports a family’s request to place a mobile home on family-owned property as attainable housing.

The second request of the night was from a couple requesting a Conditional Use Permit in order to place a mobile home on a Single-Family Residential property on Ulmer Avenue. This request was spoken for by both the couple themselves and by local activist and District 4 candidate George Foreman.

“As we all know, the economy and the world we’re living in is hard, and this family is trying to just get attainable living,” Foreman said. “They’re trying to get attainable living on a property that’s in their family that they own.”
