Redford Township mobile home residents given 30-45 days to leave amid safety concerns

Long’s Mobile Home Court Residents Face Eviction

Residents of Long’s Mobile Home Court in Redford Township are facing eviction notices and may have as little as 30 days to leave. The township, which now owns the property, says infrastructure failures and unsafe conditions make the site uninhabitable. It plans to redevelop the land after residents move out.

Residents say they are frightened and overwhelmed. Those on fixed incomes who own their mobile homes may struggle to find another place to live or risk losing their belongings. Some residents also say promised relocation help has not materialized.

The township says each household received a list of resources and that public services plans to follow up next week. Officials report that some residents with court hearings have already moved or are making plans to do so.

The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services says it has contacted residents to connect them with housing assistance and other support, calling safe housing a priority.
