I am part of a group of residents at my community who are looking in to the possibility of some sort of financial assistance because of an upcoming increase in HOA fees. One member observed that there is no sense in reinventing the wheel and surely this kind of financial aid system has been established in a community somewhere else, and he directed me to ask my online sources about some sort of community wide, "slush fund." He used those words and we all knew exactly what he meant by that. That is the wording I chose to use in my original inquiry. ~Rodney Eastern Village Cohousing, Silver Spring, MD On 10/23/17 9:39 AM, Sharon Villines wrote: > Another observation — what does it mean that this thread is called “slush > fund”.
