HOA Sustainability Project Update

As the owner of CAP Management and a cheerleader of HOA Sustainability Projects, I have for years been employing various strategies to encourage, motivate, and empower HOAs to undertake sustainability projects. In years past, these came here and there. A community garden project in 2015. A low flow toilet project in 2016. Since then, our portfolio has grown along with our expertise in sustainability. This week, I asked our VP of Property Management, Aaron Monaco, to survey our 9 property managers and our some 80 HOAs to see what we are really doing on the ground with Sustainability in planned communities.

We know this is just the beginning as we continue to help our clients navigate the complicated and evolving issues around sustainability in the built environment. HOAs need to be part of the broader sustainability conversation in Colorado and nationwide, considering how planned communities fit into the fabric of our cities and state, and the role they play in the common interests we all share in resource management.
