Cohousing-L Mailing List: HOAs

[James Lesniak (jlesniak]

Friends: 

My family are members of a newish cohousing community, Village Hill Cohousing 
in Northampton, MA. The community will transition from the developer-contractor 
being responsible for a HOA type agreement to the community having 
responsibility for a HOA document. I am researching to find various models, 
various cohousing community HOAs so our community can design and agree on our 
new HOA document. 

Would you please assist us as possible with following questions: 
1) How is your HOA organized and written? 
2) What are rules, regulations, practices or methods for achieving your 
community's goals, etc? 
3) What is the HOA's composition, role, jurisdiction and methods for making 
decisions as the board 
4) What is the % of HOA dues set aside for capital reserves? 
5) What policies are there for late or nonpayment of HOA dues? 

Thank you for any assistance that you can give, 


James
