Erin Gaede publishes commentary in The Conversation
Erin Gaede, PhD candidate in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, recently published a commentary in The Conversation titled “When private equity firms buy mobile home parks, rent increases leave residents with few affordable options in rural area.” Gaede discusses the nuances of mobile homes and other manufactured homes and how they impact low-income residents, who are often priced out of their homes. Gaede draws on qualitative interview data in her commentary and also links the history of single-room occupancy units to the current crisis.
