Your question sounds like there is a new set of governing documents, and a percentage of the owners involved in the association must vote to alter the governing documents.
Usually, the percentage is a majority, such as 67% or more, which should be set forth in your original governing documents.
The CC&Rs (covenants, conditions, restrictions and regulations) probably require a higher percentage of the membership to vote in favour, than do the By-laws.

If a homeowner pays for roofing repairs or other services in a condominium due to shortage of funds should the association reimburse the homeowner?
The key phrase in your question is 'shortage of funds'. If the association borrows money from its owners to make repairs, then the owners and the association need a written agreement that details the repayment plan. A more common and more sound approach dictates that the association levies a special assessment against all owners to pay for repairs and other services. An association that operates with a 'shortage of funds' is not an association where units will be attractive to buyers.

How do you get out of a home owners association when your builder-developer is going bankrupt?
You cannot necessarily separate your property from a home owner's association because the developer is in bankruptcy. If the remaining property is sold to a new developer it would acquire all the rights appurtenant to the land including sponsorship of the homeowner's association. When you purchase a property in a planned community you are automatically a member of the association. Unless the association is dissolved, you will remain a member as long as you own the property. Depending on how many lots were already sold you may need to bring an action in court to have the homeowner's association extinguished. The homeowner's association was intended to protect the rights of anyone who purchased a lot in the subdivision and until something changes legally it would remain effective. In some cases, the association simply becomes idle when there are not enough members to support it. However, even in that case, the property remains subject to the HOA until it is dissolved. In other cases where the development is not brought to completion all the lot owners can agree to disband the HOA. They need the advice of an attorney who specializes in real estate to guide that process. Generally, HOA funds are kept separate from the assets of the developer. If the funds were co mingled, when your builder-developer files for bankruptcy, your association's attorney may be able to preserve rights, monies and other assets of the community.
