	Governance Structures Home Owners’ Association: A home owners’ association will be set up per every 200 households. Every member will contribute a monthly HOA fee towards a common budget. The HOA will hire staff and manage all public areas within the community. The affairs of the HOA will be governed by HOA constitution and bylaws. IHFD will coordinate the meetings of the HOAs and will facilitate capacity building among various HOA’s in the community. The HOA will also serve as a guarantor for the mortgage payments of its members. Every HOA member pays an additional monthly amount towards a mortgage guarantee fund. This fund is managed by the HOA and IHFD jointly. IHFD will receive access to the fund in case any member of the HOA is in default of its mortgage payments. Thus the mortgage payments are guaranteed by a group contribution. Members that have paid off their mortgages will be refunded the balance of their contribution towards the mortgage insurance. Community Organizations: The HOA also serves as a community organization that identifies its needs, prioritizes those needs and seeks internal and external community support to meet those needs. The community organization also serves as the voice of the community in its dealings with governments, the aid community and the private sector. They develop policies and processes for decision making and overall management of the community
