Poconos For All

Many homeowners in the Hideout have come together with a lawsuit to fight against the invasive, overreaching restrictions the Board of Directors has tried to pass. It is our mission to make sure that ALL owners have EQUAL rights when it comes to their property, and to ensure that guests are welcome to enjoy the Hideout amenities, just as they have for decades.

The actions of the board have gone too far, and it goes beyond taking away our rights to rent. They continue to take actions to expand the power of the board and their security/enforcement officers without any justification, all the while impugning our rights and freedoms. Where does it end?

So far, as a direct result of our lawsuit, there is a court order in place and The Hideout is currently not allowed to stop owners from renting more than 10 times per year. Additionally, both Salem and Lake townships have repealed their initial drafts of the ordinances they previously passed, again as a direct result of the Concerned Owners of The Hideout’s legal effort.

We’ve come so far already, and we are a mighty force that have won some battles, but it is an uphill and expensive war, and we desperately need more help in the trenches.

For those of you who have not joined the lawsuit, and are not planning on doing so, we are asking for your support in an alternative way, with monetary donations towards the legal fight. Many of you have asked how you can help, so this is a great opportunity to help contribute without directly being in the lawsuit.

Please consider donating today. This lawsuit is very costly, and these funds will be directly used towards the fight, and will help lighten the burden on your neighbors that have been carrying the full financial weight of the lawsuit. The longer we can continue the greater chance of a complete victory that benefits every homeowner, area business, renter, and community member. If you own a home or business in this area and want to help us protect your rights and are unsure of what to contribute, we recommend you consider donating a minimum of $1000 towards this legal effort. If joining is truly not an option, this is the next best way to help!

Please note, that while we greatly appreciate your contribution, and while we believe we are all in this together and you will see a benefit in our continued fight, a contribution does not grant you access to the legal strategy and confidential attorney-client privileged information. That information is only available to those directly in the lawsuit. If you’d still like to join us, please reach out to [email redacted]
