Not sure if CA issues a "title" from the DMV, similar to a car's, but I bought and paid for my home with cash over 6 months ago. I've gotten NO paperwork from the DMV or the State in this matter. The escrow company I used claims it takes a long time to get a deed, but 6 months?
The real estate broker won't return my calls, and I'm afraid I've run into a dead end.
What can I do to get some sort of proof of ownership?
How can I get a deed for my home in CA paid for in cash 6 months ago?

It is not clear if you purchased a manufactured home on land or just the home. If you have purchased just the home there is no deed but there should be a title.
REGISTERING AND RECEIVING TITLE TO THE MANUFACTURED HOME IN CALIFORNIA
Dealer Sales
When you buy a manufactured home from a dealer, the dealer must apply for the registration and title, and submit the necessary fees to HCD (California Department of Housing and Community Development) within 10 days after the date of sale (the day escrow is closed). In addition to submitting the application to HCD for the registration and title, the dealer must notify the county assessor in writing about the transaction.
Private Party Sales
When you buy a used manufactured home directly from its owner, the owner must give you a properly endorsed title. Then you must send the title, along with the necessary fees, to HCD to complete the transfer of ownership.
The registration card and title certificate for the home are issued by HCD. The title is issued to the registered owner of the home, if the home was not financed. If the purchase of the manufactured home was financed, title is issued to the primary lien holder. The registration is issued to all parties of record. If you are the sole owner, only your name appears on the registration. If the home was financed, all lien holders are named and each is issued a copy of the registration.
If you have not received the registration and title (if title is to be issued to you) within 60 days after the sale, notify HCD. Contact your nearest HCD office for assistance or call toll free 1-800-952-8356.
