managing your community

    Being in charge is a great opportunity and responsibility

    When you purchased your manufactured-home community, you and your neighbors committed to protecting affordable housing for you, your family, and your friends and neighbors.

    Now that you cooperatively own it, you can make your community whatever you want it to be! How well you manage it will determine whether it's a healthy, attractive, and safe place, a neighborhood people will want to live in.

    ROC-NH created this video series to help you understand how to run your community, the roles and responsibilities of your Board of Directors, and a few things every co-op resident needs to know.
