Review the Foundation for Community Association Research’s housing predictions for 2023.

Our latest research explores reserve studies and funding. We received more than 1,000 responses from 44 states representing at least 10,000 community associations. The survey asked respondents about whether their community has a reserve study, who prepared it, how often is it updated, and whether the developer included it as part of the original community budget.

The Foundation supports graduate research and study through the Byron Hanke Fellowship. Explore our fellows’ latest research projects, including Connie Ho’s new report titled Preparing for the Future: Analyzing Wildfire and Community Resilience in Riverside County, California.

The latest Community Association Fact Book, the most comprehensive compilation of national and state community association data, includes several new components including an interactive map of the U.S.

New research explores attitudes, practices, and experiences with regard to diversity and discrimination issues, how any issues have been resolved, and recommended practices for reducing issues in community associations.

Our recently updated report, Transition from Developer Control, is designed to help association leaders better understand the roles and responsibilities of the developer and the board, build a transition team, and establish a safety plan.

Our latest research explores the need to increase the pipeline of community association managers and to help inform efforts to find, recruit, mentor, and position community managers for success in their careers.

The Foundation is committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion a core aspect within our organization and the community association housing model at large. We firmly believe in the unique strengths of every individual and that diversity makes organizations more successful and communities more fulfilling. By actively cultivating diversity, we benefit from a vastly richer mix of ideas, perspectives, and life experiences that expand our thinking and our possibilities. We strive to foster a culture of discovery, innovation, and service as we continue to focus on our mission to build better communities.
