Programs that pay the monthly or annual fees owed to condominium or homeowner's associations for people who are unable to make the payment themselves and are otherwise at risk for losing their homes. Condo association fees are collected to cover costs associated with the exterior of the condominium property including the roof and common areas. In the case of an HOA, an entity whose members are homeowners residing within a particular area, the fees are used to ensure the provision and maintenance of community facilities and enforcement of the various covenants and restrictions. HOA common areas may include the parking lots, sidewalks, green space not included within the lots, playgrounds, swimming pool and other recreation facilities. Also included are programs that pay fees owed to a housing cooperative when there is an association organized to collect and manage them. Fee payment assistance programs for any of the three types of community associations may have age, income, disability, need or other eligibility requirements.
