Sandra Abarca prepares a meal of enchiladas verdes for her family's dinner at her home at Jamison Mobile Home Park on Sept. 17. Abarca found out about the sale when a neighbor went to pay her rent in July and learned that a developer had a contract on the property. By that time, Abarca and Josue Chan had already completed the paperwork to enroll their children in school. "We were very sad because we were just starting to get settled in," Abarca said. "We made this our home."
