By Multi Channel News Staff -- Multichannel News, 4/24/2008 7:05:00 AM
CMT is taking a home renovation team on the road.
From the producers of the network’s Gone Country, Mobile Home Disaster will launch May 16 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT).
The series, hosted by comedian John Caparulo, finds deserving families living in less than the best mobile homes and the “Home Disaster Team” of Lori-Lynn Lively, Joe DeRobbio and Kyle Carlson, drop their expertise to revitalized these houses on wheels.
CMT has ordered eight one-hour installments from 83 Entertainment.
“Mobile Home Disaster is a fun new take on the home makeover genre,” said CMT head of development Bob Kusbit in a statement. “It lets viewers see how hardworking Americans can transform their dilapidated mobile homes into the ideal ‘American Dream’ on wheels.”

Hi there, Like many of the other people that have commented on this article I, too, know of someone who could really benefit for being chosen for the show. My friend works as a veterinary technician, and runs a rescue out of her home for dogs. At the moment she has one of her other close friends living with her. So altogether, in one double-wide trailer, there are two people, two huskies, one german-shorthaired pointer, one english setter, one cattle dog mix, one new puppy, and one kitten. There is also an outside cat, too. There are eight animals altogether. She has about an acre of woods fenced off for all the animals to be able to go outside and run, but she could definately benefit from having a new mobile home. Any information regarding where I can (officially ??) submit a application for her would be great. Thank you!

I would like to know how to apply for this show. I am a stay at home, homeschooling mother of 3 wonderful children. We have bought a mobile home to move closer to my father. He is not in the greatest of health and he is also taking care of his 90 year old mother. We are trying to move there to help him but the mobile home that we have needs so many repairs. It is on a farm. I really need help to get moved into this home. Please contact me and let me know how I can apply for Mobile home Disaster. I really love the show.

I am writing concerning a 14 year-old boy and his mom that live in an old, run down mobile home in Quitman, Louisiana. The bathroom floor is falling through and broken windows have been covered with cardboard boxes, just to name a couple of things. The mother is a single parent raising a teenage boy with special education needs on her fast food income. They have no means to even cut their own grass, which is nearing 2 ft. tall. Recently, the son called my husband to their home when he discovered a Copperhead snake on their front porch. The boy unfortunately has to spend a lot of time alone due to his mother''''s working schedule. I fear with numerous holes in their living structure that this could become a serious threat to their health. Thank you for considering this submission. This is not a request to necessarily update and beautify their home, but a plea to improve their living conditions.
