Dozens of residents at Evergreen Trailer Park in south Reno were told on March 31 to leave by the end of April, giving them 30 days to move. (mynews4.com) Residents told KRNV they had learned in September that the park had been sold, then got another letter in November saying nothing would change. The move-out notice arrived months later with no extra lead time, resident Louis LePochat said. (mynews4.com) The park is one of the cheaper places left in south Reno. LePochat said he pays $500 a month there, while other nearby trailer parks he has checked are in the $700 range or higher. (mynews4.com) Several residents are older or living on fixed incomes, and some own trailers that are hard to move on short notice. Lloyd Palmer, a disabled veteran, told KRNV he had lived there nine years and needed more time to find something he could afford. (mynews4.com) The property sits next to Tamarack Casino in south Reno, where land values and redevelopment pressure have risen. KRNV reported that Valencia Delgado LLC owns the trailer park land, the neighboring Mary Wink Motel parcel and a nearby former bar site, totaling just over three acres. (mynews4.com) Washoe County’s Housing and Homeless Services department said it was sending an outreach team to Evergreen Trailer Park to connect residents with resources. That response points to how quickly a private park closure can become a public housing problem. (mynews4.com) Reno’s broader housing system is already tight. The Reno Housing Authority says it serves low-income families across Reno, Sparks and Washoe County, and its resident-services page shows project-based waitlist activity still opening in April 2026 rather than a surplus of immediately available units. (renoha.org) Public records pages also show no obvious, publicly listed city or county redevelopment application tied to Evergreen on the current land-development dashboards reviewed this week. Washoe County’s current-applications page and the City of Reno’s land-development portal both list active cases, but neither page surfaced an Evergreen filing in the material available online. (washoecounty.gov) (reno.gov) That leaves residents racing the calendar before April 30, with county outreach underway and no public sign yet of a formal redevelopment case explaining what comes next for the site.
