As an assistant professor of Community and International Development at the University of Vermont, Dr. Baker has researched issues affecting mobile home park communities since 2005. He led a mobile home deconstruction project in Alburgh, VT in collaboration with the Town of Alburgh and the Agency of Natural Resources that sought to deconstruct abandoned mobile homes while diverting as much waste as possible from the landfill. His interest in rural community development and planning led to the community surveys and organizing in collaboration with the Mobile Home Project.

Ms. Hamshaw received her master's degree in Community Development and Applied Economics from the University of Vermont in 2010. Mobile home parks were the focus of her research and specifically how community organizing and planning can lead to increased satisfaction with park life amongst residents. As a Research Specialist, she coordinates and manages the day-to-day work of the USDA research project and engages with a variety of stakeholders involved in the project.

Mr. Gilpin joined the staff of the Mobile Home Project as a Resident Organizer in 2009 and now serves as the Program Director. He has worked with many park communities across the state of Vermont and is a primary advocate for mobile home park residents.
