Live in an HOA? ECHO is for you.
California homeowner associations face rising delinquencies, assessment defaults, and complicated laws. With no state-level help, associations need an organization that represents them: the homeowners. ECHO is the only California non-profit dedicated to educating and advocating on behalf of California HOAs.
Education. We publish articles by industry experts, and host frequent educational seminars.
Advocacy. We lobby to improve the laws that govern your HOA, and to limit the damage from pending legislation.
Support. We talk to our members about problems in their HOAs, and provide articles and tips to get them through tough situations.
Our 1400 member associations already appreciate our outstanding resources. Not a member of ECHO? Read more about what we offer to homeowner associations, and consider becoming a member today.
