Through the Housing and Urban Development EDI Account, which will go to Cumberland County, North Carolina.  There are approximately 1,000 manufactured homes currently classified by Cumberland County Code Enforcement Section as junked, dilapidated or abandoned.  In addition there are 234 listed as storage or damaged according to the Tax Assessor's Office.  While some of these manufactured homes meet current minimum housing standards, many do not, and many others have been abandoned.  Some homes will need to be dismantled on site since they would represent a hazard if transported along our roadways.  The beneficiaries of the project will be the individual owners and the community in general.  Some projects related to dilapidated and abandoned manufactured homes approach the problem in a piecemeal fashion.  With sufficient funding, Cumberland County can take a comprehensive approach and significantly improve the county and improve the quality of life of its residents.  Further delays in funding assistance will invariably have an increased cost in their removal through an increase in dumping fees or contractor costs, and without revenue sources the homes remain and the problem continues.  Funding for this project will help local, state, and federal governments to provide jobs and will help develop new commercial and residential opportunities on the property once the old homes are removed.
