Why your Community Needs a Home Owners Association (HOA)
What is an HOA?
A legal organization formed by a dedicated group of homeowners who act together on shared values and visions for their community.
Why have an HOA?
-
The concept is simple: there is great strength in numbers.
-
Homeowners Associations give structure and legitimacy to any group of neighbors who want to organize to protect and improve their community.
-
Homeowners Associations strengthen the voices of manufactured homeowners in negotiation, and help them to: preserve property values, create safe neighborhoods, and ensure that community management complies with the law. In short: they are assets to the community as a whole!
HOAs are about protecting YOUR most important investment - YOUR home!
Help protect your investment!
