Florida: Alliance forming between HOA activists and a fair housing group
This is from the Cyber Citizens for Justice website:
"The Florida based grassroots organization Cyber Citizens for Justice, Inc. is proud to announce that another great consumer organization, FHC (Fair Housing Center of the Greater Palm Beaches), is joining their growing consumer alliance. Both organizations pursue many common goals, especially the improvement of housing conditions in the State of Florida. While CCFJ, Inc. is more specialized in pushing for necessary legislative reforms regarding mandated properties, FHC is a "Private" Enforcement Agency with the mission is to ensure equal and affordable housing opportunities for all people by promoting culturally diverse communities through open housing and the elimination of all barriers to that goal.

"Vince Larkins, President/CEO of the FHC, says that phones are ringing off the hooks at the FHC offices from residents who live under Condo and Homeowner Associations. 'We are excited about the great opportunity we have to come to the needs of residents under assault by unscrupulous individuals at the helm of many associations in Palm Beach County and throughout the State'."

Add this sort of alliance to the Nevada idea of an owner-funded oversight commission and you have the potential for a framework that could protect homeowner rights. That would be good for everybody--owners, boards, professionals, and developers.
