In 2020, during the pandemic, ARNL stabilized their community by forming a resident-run cooperative nonprofit and purchasing the mobile home park. Working collaboratively with community organizations and city staff, Clinic students represented ARNL in the real estate and lending work necessary for the purchase of the mobile home park and helped them formalize as a resident-owned cooperative nonprofit corporation through forming a nonprofit corporation, drafting bylaws, facilitating strong corporate governance. and issue spotting on matters of property management.
