Stands for Home Owners Association.

In theory, they're there to maintain property values in a given neighborhood. Historically they've also been used to maintain racial lines in housing.

In practice, it means paying dues to a group of crusty ass old people who will harass and fine you for not painting your house the right shade of beige, having a too-high mailbox, or growing vegetables where people can see them
