What We Do
The California FAIR Plan is a private association comprised of all insurers authorized to write property insurance in California. The FAIR Plan was established in July 1968 following the 1960s brush fires and riots as the state’s insurer of last resort, created to ensure access to basic property insurance for California homeowners who have been unable to obtain homeowners insurance from the voluntary market for reasons outside of their control. The FAIR Plan will write fire insurance coverage for these homeowners, regardless of a property’s wildfire risk. The FAIR Plan is committed to strengthening consumer choices in the voluntary insurance market, while ensuring that all homeowners, including those who live in areas threatened by wildfires, can obtain basic property coverage and the peace of mind they deserve
