CAI Publishes New Report On Safety, Security, and Conflict Prevention in Condominiums and Homeowners Associations

5/8/2023 — FALLS CHURCH, VA A new special report, Safety First: Evaluating Risks and Developing Practical Solutions, offers valuable support to com munity associations navigating safety, security, and conflict pre vention. The report is published by Community Associations Institute, the leading international association for communi ty association education, governance, and management. Community associations, also known as condominium com munities, homeowners associations, and housing coopera tives, represent nearly 30% of all U.S. housing. According to CAI, community association board mem bers, managers, and business partners are regularly faced with challenging and complex issues that can spark strong

emotions. However, few are prepared for violent attacks; few know how to handle aggressive behavior; and few know how to respond when their lives are on the line. Many recognize it’s time to change that mindset, prepare for the worst-case scenario, and take steps to protect them selves, their colleagues, neighbors, and residents. Readers will find ideas, tips, and resources on commu nity safety, conflict prevention, security options, and results from a survey of CAI members. The guide was adapted from several Common Ground TM magazine articles, a survey of more than 200 CAI members in January 2023, discussions in CAI›s members-only Exchange groups, and resources previously developed by CAI.
