Craw, et al. v. Hometown America, LLC, et al. 

OAK POINT MANUFACTURED HOUSING COMMUNITY

CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT

CASE NO: 18-CV-12149-LTS (D. Mass.)

In 2018, the Northeast Justice Center brought a class action lawsuit that was removed to the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and that became known as Craw, et al. v. Hometown America, LLC, et al., 18-CV-12149-LTS (“Class Action”). In the Class Action, one of the Plaintiffs claimed, among other things, that the owners and operators of the Oak Point Manufactured Housing Community (“Oak Point”) failed to provide or inadequately provided services to Oak Point residents related to stormwater management as well as foundation maintenance.

In 2023, the parties to the Class Action reached a Settlement requiring Oak Point to create a $4,300,000 Settlement Fund to compensate current or former Oak Point residents. The Settlement also required Oak Point to implement a Court-approved plan to supervise Oak Point’s stormwater management and foundation maintenance practices (the “Oak Point Injunctive Relief Plan”), subject to Court oversight for a ten-year period – that is, through March 2033.

So, if you are a current Oak Point resident who is experiencing stormwater management issues or foundation problems, you may find this website helpful in understanding special rights or remedies potentially available to you under the Oak Point Injunctive Relief Plan and Class Action Settlement.
