Creating Sustainable HOAs Guidebook
A guide for improving social, environmental, and financial sustainability in your community
More than just a management company. We believe in sustainable communities.
CAP Management is a leader in community-scale sustainability, encompassing environmental initiatives, community building, and long-term financial planning. During 2020, CAP Management partnered with a talented team of graduate students from the University of Colorado Boulder’s Master of the Environment Program to develop a comprehensive Guidebook for Creating Sustainable HOAs, the first-ever publication on the topic. Through this research, our team has gained an understanding of the processes and planning required for sustainable property management in Denver – and how we can make this approach work for your HOA.
Environmental – Financial – Social
The guidebook covers a variety of topics relevant to HOA and condominium communities in Colorado and nationally, and it is organized on environmental, financial, and social sustainability. The book was developed through research of best practices, industry interviews, subject matter experts, and case study examples. This way, our team was able to take a holistic approach to understanding and implementing property management sustainability for current and future HOAs. The environmental topics include strategies for cost-saving conservation, efficiency measures, and emerging innovations like electric vehicle infrastructure. Financial sustainability is presented through the lens of financial literacy, reserve study projects, and the benefits of long-term financial planning. Finally, social sustainability is discussed in terms of community engagement, Board transparency, and equitable governance.
Leading the way in Denver, Colorado, CAP Management is proud to participate actively in Colorado’s sustainability community and is a national leader in many ways. By partnering and collaborating with established disciplines of sustainable development, we bring innovations and expertise to HOA communities. As an industry, HOA governance significantly influences the built and human environments of a residential community. CAP Management believes the industry here in Colorado has a great opportunity to respond to the environmental challenges of our growing residential region while building financially and socially resilient HOAs.
CAP Management can provide the framework for sustainable property management in Denver to make your vision of a socially conscious HOA a long-term mission.
