West End Coalition Representative Updates
Education Series for Condominium and Community Associations
The City of Alexandria in partnership with Alexandria-based law firm Mercer Trigiani is sponsoring a series of workshops related to condominium, homeowners, cooperatives, and other common interest communities during FY2022. The goals for these classes include educating first-time homebuyers about the structure and governance of common interest communities; strengthening the knowledge of community board members in understanding, managing and budgeting; and helping communities understand state law related to open meetings and governance. The workshops are offered at no cost to participants, but registration is required.
The full list of upcoming sessions is provided on the Office of Housing webpage and information on the first two sessions is below.
Condominiums have traditionally been the most affordable homeownership housing option for first-time homebuyers in the City of Alexandria. Recognizing the importance of common interest communities in preserving the region’s economic and social diversity, the City hopes to broaden awareness of community association management in hopes of strengthening and preserving these valuable resources for the future.
