New Windsor mobile home park residents protest upcoming rent hike

NEW WINDSOR — Residents of the Silver Stream Village mobile home park marched Thursday afternoon to protest a pending increase in their lot rents that they say exceeds what state law allows.

They were joined at a news conference and rally before the march by state Sen. James Skoufis, who said if park owner RHP Properties won’t withdraw the increase on its own, the state Division of Housing and Community Renewal should intervene and negotiate an increase that is fair and lawful.
