CERES — Jamie Foster moved into the Colony Park mobile home community in 1991, when she was a single mom looking for an affordable place to live.
She helped her daughter take the same path, buying her a used mobile home in 2003 so she could raise her son and just pay the park's rent.
But Colony Park's rent is scheduled to jump $85 to $595 a month in March, a hike that will send Foster's 22-year-old daughter back into mom's house.
'It's not affordable at all. I can't do it,' said Foster, 48."
