Hills For Everyone is the fiscal sponsor for the neighborhood group, Protect Our Homes and Hills (POHAH). POHAH signed a settlement agreement in August 2016 with the developer of the Cielo Vista project (North County BRS) and will not oppose its housing project due to the additional concessions offered.
