Make HOA decisions
residents can trust
Loomio gives your board one place to discuss an issue, hear concerns, vote, and publish a clear outcome — without endless reply-all emails or another poorly attended meeting.
Member-governed housing communities qualify for our nonprofit rates. See pricing.
Why HOA governance breaks down
It's not about your board. It's about the tools — and the gap they leave.
Residents disengage
Nobody comes to meetings. Nobody reads the minutes. The board makes decisions in a vacuum — then residents feel blindsided and complain they weren't consulted.
Decisions disappear in email
What was actually decided? Who approved it? Six months later there's a dispute, and the only record is a chain of reply-alls that proves nothing — and protects no one.
Quorum failures stall everything
Special assessments, bylaw amendments, board elections — legally, these require a minimum number of homeowners. Getting them in a room at the same time has always been nearly impossible.
Built for how HOAs actually work
A small elected board manages the community. Residents have rights — and deserve transparency. Loomio handles both.
The board space
Your 3–7 voting members get a private group for sensitive deliberations — contractor negotiations, personnel matters, financial discussions that aren't ready for the whole community yet.
- Private proposals and votes
- Confidential board discussions
- Meeting prep and minute approval
- Subgroups for each committee
The community view
All homeowners can see what the board has decided, read the reasoning, and follow along — without access to confidential board deliberations. Transparency without oversharing.
- Outcomes and vote records visible
- Community proposals with resident input
- Email digests so residents stay informed
- Searchable archive of every decision
Confidential board work stays private while approved decisions remain visible to the community.
"Loomio becomes indispensable when combined with personal interaction. Meeting minutes, agendas, decisions, objections — it's all there, creating an invaluable archive."Witchcliffe Ecovillage · 100 households · Western Australia

- Decisions across neighbourhood clusters
- Transparent community decision archive
- Equal say for all residents
- Self-governance replacing strata management
A decision-making home for your HOA
Loomio complements your accounting, property, and election systems by keeping deliberation, permitted votes, and outcomes together.
Board deliberation room
Private threads for board proposals — discuss contractor quotes, draft rule changes, and work through contentious issues before they go to the community.
Async voting when your rules allow
Post a proposal with a deadline and let eligible participants vote in their own time. The result and stated outcome stay with the discussion.
A decision archive that protects you
Every proposal, vote, and outcome is searchable and dated. When a dispute arises next year, you point to the record — not a thread of emails.
Resident transparency
Community notices, pool opening dates, roadwork alerts — a clear bulletin board that keeps residents informed without cluttering board discussions.
Meeting prep without the admin
Circulate agendas and minutes before the meeting. Pre-approve routine items online — so in-person time is spent on conversations that actually need a room.
Subgroups for each committee
Maintenance, social, finance — each working group gets its own private space without cluttering the main board feed or the community view.
Check your rules first
Match online voting to your governing documents
Electronic voting requirements vary by jurisdiction and by association. Formal elections or member ballots may require particular notice, identity checks, secrecy, certification, or independent administration.
Use Loomio to deliberate, test support, make board decisions, and conduct member polls or votes where your rules permit. If a certified election service is required, keep the formal ballot there and use Loomio for the discussion that helps residents make an informed choice.
Loomio keeps proposals, participation, results, and stated outcomes together in a dated, exportable record. Ask your association counsel which decisions can be made online and which process each one requires.
Check current local requirements: your governing documents, association counsel, or local CAI chapter can help you identify the right process.
Start with the board. Expand when you're ready.
Most successful HOA boards start small and build from there.
Get the board on Loomio
Start with your 3–7 board members. Run your next board decision through Loomio — a contractor quote, a policy question, anything. Build the habit of documentation before involving everyone.
Add your committees
Create subgroups for maintenance, social, and finance committees. Each gets its own space — and the board sees a clean summary without the operational detail.
Open to the full community
Once the board is comfortable, expand community visibility. Invite homeowners to observe outcomes and participate in the decisions that affect them — special assessments, rule changes, community proposals.
