EXPLORING RESILIENCY

AND SUSTAINABILITY DESIGN

Community Associations Institute (CAI) is helping with the LA wildfires recovery, especially helping homeowner associations (HOAS) to navigate insurance claims and future coverage concerns.

As rebuilding takes place, “we will be working with our communities to mitigate fire hazards, to avoid tragedy,”said Dawn M. Bauman is chief strategy officer at Community Associations Institute (CAI) and executive director of the Foundation for Community Association Research.

“REALTORS® are so valuable, because they can educate purchasers on what they’re purchasing and what they need to know about an HOA or condo associations,” she said.

“They can ask the associations if there is regular maintenance, major repairs outstanding, a reserve fund, a reserve study?”
