California FAIR Plan Association is an insurance organization that provides basic fire insurance coverage for high-risk properties in California when traditional insurance companies will not offer coverage. The FAIR Plan includes dwelling coverage for owner- or tenant-occupied dwellings with up to four family units, as well as commercial coverage for business-owned buildings. They also offer earthquake insurance through the California Earthquake Authority. The organization helps Californians access necessary fire insurance via licensed brokers and is essentially a temporary insurance solution when coverage is unavailable from traditional insurers.
