Differences between the CCA & CHOA

What is the difference between the Crestmont Home Owners Association (CHOA) and the Crestmont Community Association (CCA)

Both organizations are non-profit; however our mandates (our “reason for being”) and our legal obligations are very different. It is not possible for either organization to take on the responsibilities of the other, however working closely together allows us to maximize our scope of work.
