WIN the Manufactured Home That a Governor Declined to Use!

Unions Families May Apply for a Spot in the Drawing for a Single-Wide Manufactured Home, Delivered to You in Texas

Gov. Rick Perry declined to take up the Texas AFL-CIO on an offer to lease him a manufactured home for $1 a year while he waits for the renovation of the gutted Governor’s Mansion in a rental mansion in a gated community 14 miles from the Capitol that has cost taxpayers more than $600,000.

Since then, the single-wide, home has spent time on display in the Texas AFL-CIO parking lot, attended both state political conventions and is making appearances in more venues over the summer.

Texas AFL-CIO President Becky Moeller has announced that shortly after Labor Day, the state federation plans to donate the manufactured home to a Texas union family. Eligibility is limited to persons who are current union members, retirees or former union members who lost their jobs and/or suffered through a home foreclosure.

A panel of religious leaders will be convened to consider applications for the manufactured home. Using their best judgment, the panel will select up to 20 worthy entries and the final selection will be determined by a random drawing from among those entries. The result of the panel’s decision and subsequent drawing, to be conducted by officers of the Texas AFL-CIO, is final.

To enter, fill out an application, which asks for your name, a place and method of contact, and include a 100-word statement on why you should receive the manufactured home, Email the document to rickshouse@texasaflcio.org or mail a hard copy of the application to:
Rick’s House Drawing
Texas AFL-CIO
1106 Lavaca St., Suite 200
Austin, TX 78701

A copy of the application will be posted on the union boards and copies will be available at the Union Hall
