<P>With the help of the Genesis, residents of
Medomak Mobile Home Park in Waldoboro purchased
their park on March 13, 2009 becoming the first
mobile home co-op in Maine. The residents now
own the land as well as their homes and make
their own decisions about lot rental rates and
park improvements. As long time resident Alton
"Shorty" Hayden said: "Now I don't have to worry
about someone coming in, buying the land and
kicking us all out. I don't have to worry about
a huge rent increase or not having any place to
go." <BR><BR>For the past 18 months, Yvonne
Mickles, program coordinator at Genesis has been
working with residents to achieve this goal.
Under her guidance, the group has elected
officers and begun discussing park rules,
maintenance issues, and lot rates. They are
looking forward to improving the park grounds by
tree trimming and old utility pole replacement.
Already, they are enjoying a better sense of
community, with many residents, a mixture of
families and retirees, meeting each other for
the first time. <BR><BR>With the help of the
Corporation for Enterprise Development, Genesis
launched its mobile home park program in 2006 to
help residents transition the parks to co-ops as
they came on the market. "Mobile homes represent
affordable housing for many Maine families, said
Yvonne Mickles. Forming a co- op gives residents
more security and a stronger sense of
community."<BR><BR>For more information about

<P>Since 1992 those who support the Genesis
Community Loan Fund have understood the
extraordinary work that a revolving loan fund
can do. By making flexible, low-interest loans
rather than outright grants to Maine's nonprofit
organizations, the Genesis Fund can use the same
pool of funds over and over again. <BR><BR>An
investment loan allows you to put your money to
work for a set term in communities across Maine.
While investment loans in the Genesis Fund are
not guaranteed, <B>we are proud of our 17-year
history of 100% repayment to our
investors.</B><BR><BR><B>We offer flexible
terms, chosen by the investor:</B>
<UL>
<LI><B>You </B>chose the amount to invest -
minimum of $1,000 and up.
<LI><B>You</B> chose the length of the term -
minimum of one year.
<LI><B>You </B>chose the rate of interest - up
to 2.5% for terms of 1 -3 years and up to 3.5%
for terms over 4 years </LI></UL><BR><BR>We are
excited about the opportunities that lie ahead
here in Maine for affordable housing and
community facilities. With your help, we can
make a difference for our friends and
neighbors.<BR><BR>Be a part of our work and see
the difference it makes!<BR><BR>For more
information, please contact Bill Floyd,
Executive Director, at 207.563.6073 or visit us

<P>Recently Genesis purchased the 3 Chapman St.
location in Damariscotta from Sweetser. "This
gives us the opportunity to remain in the
community that we have called home for so long,"
said executive director Bill Floyd. "The
building gives us the room and stability to
continue our growth; and, it has already been
converted into office space." <BR><BR>Plans are
underway to formalize a right of way behind the
building for the walking path to the Rising Tide
Market and other Route One businesses. Already
it is well used by townspeople. We are happy to
be part of this important community
link.<BR><BR>We expect to be in our new home May
3, 2009. Please note only our street address
will change; all other contact information
remains the same. <BR><BR><B><I>Please stop in
and see us!</I></B> </P>
