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.
What Is CLAC?
The California Legislative Action Committee (CLAC) is a statewide voice for California's community associations, working to protect the interests of approximately 13,000,000 homeowners living in over 50,000 community associations throughout California.
- Non-profit, statewide committee of the Community Associations Institute (CAI)
- Educates legislators about Common Interest Development (HOA) living and governance
- Not a PAC (Political Action Committee) and makes no political contributions
- Functions solely on donations from community associations it represents
- Does not consult or provide expert testimony in litigated matters
- Does not advocate 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 to testify at hearings and educate legislators in Sacramento
- Alerts HOAs and their managers about important legislation
- Makes visits to legislators in their districts to continue the education begun in Sacramento
- Organizes grassroots efforts to communicate en masse with legislators over important topics
- Acts as a resource for legislators when considering legislation affecting community associations
