Forest Hill Home Owners, Inc. was formed in 1950 for the purpose, as stated in its certificate of incorporation, “[t]o promote, safeguard, and improve the property values in and the general welfare of the community known as Forest Hill.” For more than half a century the board of trustees and the executive officers of FHHO have been charged with interpreting this broad purpose statement and pursuing specific goals that further the association’s mission. Currently FHHO focuses on the following points:

Interpret and enforce the protective covenants that are contained in the deeds of all Forest Hill homes to preserve and enhance property values. The standards committee assists Forest Hill residents in making informed choices that will maintain the architectural integrity and value of their homes.

Apprise residents of important information about our community via the newsletter, website and annual meeting. We also use the website and Facebook to disseminate information requested by residents, such as a book-signing event for a local author or play featuring a resident actor.

Educate the public about Forest Hill. The website is our primary outlet to the public and receives thousands of visits a month.

Represent Forest Hill residents to the Cities of Cleveland Heights and East Cleveland. The association seeks to obtain results by speaking with a unified voice on behalf of all Forest Hill residents.

Intervene to address issues between residents. At the request of a resident, we will work with neighbors to lessen the impact of disagreements concerning pets, noise or similar issues.

Welcome new residents to the community. Our vice president of membership or the area trustees attempt to greet every new resident in person and provide them with a welcome package containing information about Forest Hill and the association.

Support organizations with related purposes, such as the Forest Hill Historic Preservation Society and the East Cleveland Parks Association, and local block/street associations in their efforts to foster community through neighborhood social events such as block and holiday parties.
