In her post, Michelle Baldry, PE, PRA, RS as Chair of the Foundation for Community Association Research’s Best Practices shared insights from a national reserve funding survey that highlighted a key issue: many communities aren’t underfunded due to lack of awareness, but because of how difficult these decisions are to communicate and implement.

Reserve funding isn’t a math problem, it’s a communication problem.
In this discussion, we cover:
- Why 64% say communication—not numbers—is the biggest challenge
- What boards understand… but struggle to convey to homeowners
- How reserve studies are evolving into risk mitigation tools
- Why lenders and insurers are paying closer attention
- Common mistakes when presenting funding plan
Practical ways to position reserves so communities understand the long-term impact
This video builds directly on Michelle’s original post, turning the data into real-world application for community association managers and board members.
If you’ve ever had pushback on reserves, delayed funding decisions, or struggled to explain the “why” behind increases, this is worth your time.
