CLAC’s Mission
To safeguard and improve the community association lifestyle and their property values by advocating a reasonable balance between state statutory requirements and the ability and authority of individual homeowners to govern themselves through their community associations.

Briefly, CLAC…

• Is a non-profit, statewide committee of the Community Associations Institute (CAI)
• Educates legislators about Common Interest Development (HOA) living and governance
• Serves the interests of approximately 13,000,000 homeowners residing in over 50,000 community associations throughout California
• Is not a PAC (Political Action Committee), and makes no political contributions
• Functions solely on the donations of the community associations it represents
• Does not consult or provide expert testimony in litigated matters, nor does it provide litigation support of any kind
• Does not advocate or take positions on local issues, including city or county ordinances
• Does not provide legal advice.

The legislation we monitor, support, or oppose has a direct impact on the community associations you live in, work with or manage.

How Does CLAC Accomplish Its Goals?

• Reviews and takes positions on all legislative bills affecting homeowners associations
• Hosts a “Legislative Day at the Capitol” event each year to educate legislators and members
• Employs a lobbyist, Louie Brown, to testify at hearings and lobby (educate) the legislators in Sacramento
• Alerts HOA’s and their managers about important legislation
• Makes visits to legislators in their districts to continue the education begun in Sacramento
• Organizes “grass-roots” efforts to communicate en masse with legislators over topics that are particularly important to community associations
• Acts as a resource for legislators when considering legislation having to do with community associations
