JUNE – STATE OF THE INDUSTRY IN 2023

Recently, the Nevada Chapter of Community Associations Institute (CAI) was honored to have Dawn M. Bauman, Sr Vice President of Government Affairs for Community Associations Institute (CAI) National, speak at the monthly meeting in Las Vegas. Her presentation was titled “State of the Industry,” regarding Common Interest Communities (CIC)/ Homeowners Associations (HOA) industry Her presentation highlighted 6 areas of focus:

Growth

Nationwide 29% of the U.S. population or 72.4 million people live in a ry and 8,000 – 9,000 community association management companies.

MENTAL HEALTH & THREATS OF VIOLENCE

The focus on mental health and violence is not limited to just our own communities. Reports of violent acts have been reported across the country A survey of CAI members conducted in early 2023 indicates 45% of respondents are greatly concerned or moderately concerned about their safety This is a significant increase from a similar survey conducted in 2019 which indicated 29% of respondents were greatly concerned or moderately concerned. As concerns about personal safety grow, we all need to be prepared to identify personal safety measures that we can take.

Common Elements Safety

After the collapse of the Champlain Towers South condominium in Florida, associations are focusing more on safety of common elements of a HOA. Reserve Studies are being scrutinized to ensure funds are available for needed maintenance and repairs to avoid unsafe conditions.

In Nevada, professionally compiled Reserve Studies and liability insurance are required by state statute (NRS116). A reserve study identifies the adequacy of funds to sufficiently maintain common elements without using funds from the operating account and without special assessments. An association's budget MUST include a budget for the reserves. The funds in a reserve account may not be used for operating expenses. Nevada law also requires a reserve study to be conducted at least every 5 years with annual adjustments to the funding plan for required reserves. As common elements and buildings age, the Reserve Study becomes more important to ensure the safety of all common elements.

Rising Costs

In a recent survey conducted by CAI, nearly 90% of all community associations reported increases in expenses, primarily in landscape services, management services and daily operational expenses, including utilities. These increases will lead to increases in budgets which will primarily be covered by increased assessments.
