The Foundation for Community Association Research is launching a survey designed to help us understand the rise in discrimination claims and resident complaints filed against one another and to identify factors that contribute to greater community harmony.

A new research report of the Foundation for Community Association Research, Breaking Point: Examining Aging Infrastructure in Community Associations, examines how aging infrastructures have become critical issues in community associations.

The latest Community Association Fact Book, the most comprehensive compilation of national and state community association data, includes several new components: the history of federal involvement in community associations, economic contributions and value-added benefits of community associations, and updated and expanded data for 55+ condominium residents.

For the eighth time in 15 years, Americans living in homeowners associations and condominiums have told pollsters they are overwhelmingly satisfied in their communities.

Our recently updated report, Reserve Studies/Management, is designed to help association leaders plan for future repairs and replacement. Maintaining an adequate reserve fund not only meets the legal, fiduciary, and professional requirements of associations, but it also minimizes the need for special assessments and enhances resale home values in the community.

The Foundation supports graduate research and study through the Byron Hanke Fellowship. Explore our fellows’ latest research projects.
