Newsletter
The FHA was formed in the early 1980's to represent floating homeowners and
renters. It is the only community wide organization that represents the interests
of homeowners and residents. During its existence, the FHA has effectively worked
to resolve problems with insurance, dock maintenance, berth leases, rent increases,
financing and floating home registration. The FHA also sponsored legislation
(the "Floating Home Residency Law") that provides owners and residents
with legal rights similar to what mobile home residents have.
Be a part of your community. Keep in touch with what's happening on your dock,
in your harbor and in the floating homes community. Your membership is essential

Thanks for your help.
The money that you send the Floating Homes Association helps support our organization.
The FHA is a volunteer organization that supports the community, preserves the
environment, and solicits & advocates the interests of floating homes residents.
Note: You need not own a floating home to be a member of the
FHA. The FHA represents all who have an interest in life on the water and preservation
of the environment.
Mission
Statement:
The Floating Homes Association is a volunteer civic group which
represents the interests of the residents of the 400+ homes in five floating
home marinas on Richardson Bay. The Association provides information to
its members through general membership meetings, individual dock meetings,
its Floating Times newsletter, and special notices as necessary. Information
is also provided to the media, government and regulatory officials, and
to the general public. |
|
Taking into consideration the sometimes diverse interests of residents of all
five marinas, the FHA does not take stands on issues that are specific to individual
marinas or docks, but may be utilized as an information source by
residents involved in such issues. The FHA does strive to present a unified
voice for floating homes residents to regulators, legislators, landlords and
other entities, on matters which affect all residents universally, such as health
and safety issues.
As a non-profit corporation, the FHA is politically non-partisan, but does
provide forums for political candidates to learn about our community's unique
needs, and to express their views to residents through the Floating Times and
community meetings.
The FHA strives to foster a sense of community among residents through activities
such as the annual Waterfront Showcase tour and a yearly membership party. Additionally,
the FHA supports social events and group improvement projects on individual
docks by sharing costs and helping publicize such events.
FHA volunteers take active roles in Legal, Environmental, Member Services,
Public Relations and other committees in pursuit of this mission. |
