Caliroc

The process of becoming and operating a resident owned community (ROC) is not an easy task, but ownership is well worth it to the future affordability and sustainability of ROC communities who bravely choose to own and govern themselves.

Sometimes, stepping outside of your comfort zone allows great things to happen!

Tell your friends: the newest podcast episode just dropped!
Paul and Mike take this episode of Ownership Matters in a different direction than usual, with Paul taking the guest seat to answer questions about ROC USA's new wholly owned subsidiary, Integrity Community Solutions, and what's happening to his role down the line.

Integrity Community Solutions (ICS) was created with the same vision in mind as ROC USA – preserving manufactured home communities through resident ownership. Paul recently announced his decision to step down as President of ROC USA to become the CEO of ICS. Listen in to hear more about ICS and what it does, the thought that went into Paul's big decision, and what it means for the future of ROC USA and the network.
