BOISE -- Several dozen people who now living in a Boise mobile home park say they’ll soon be out on the streets after learning the land their homes sit on is about to be sold.

The owner of the Thunderbird Mobile Home Park on Amity Road is selling his land to a developer who plans to build 72 homes there.

That means 35 mobile homes that are now on the property will be moved or destroyed.

Park residents and developers met last night to discuss their concerns.

"I personally bought this place in November and I took the last of the money that I had in savings, had upgrades done to it, plumbing and roofing and had it painting and two months later I am finding out this is the sale," said Nick Rex, resident.

"We've been talking to Boise city to find out what kind of assistance they could offer and what we can do to ease the transition," said developer Brad Klahr, Tri-fecta Land Holdings.

A group spokesperson will now go door-to-door to get individual requests from mobile home owners.
