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 for the FHA to continue to do its work. Membership includes:

• Access to the best available floating home financing via membership in the FHA's affiliated Credit Union
• Floating Times newsletter
• Membership Party
• Tidelines Calendar and Marin Express at cost
• Dock Parties
• Web site for members
• Having Fun!

Join now and be eligible to attend for free the annual general membership meeting and party in February. All of this for only $25

Please take a moment to complete the membership application.

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.

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.
