As a community management company specializing in Condominiums “Condos” and Homeowners Associations “HOA’s,” there is nothing more important to us than the safety and security of those who live, work, and visit the community associations we serve, as well as, those team members who serve you. This has become particularly important in the face of the current Corona COVID-19 outbreak. We would like to take a minute to make you aware of our plans to continue conducting business while keeping you, your community members, and our team members safe. As part of our emergency preparedness, HPS has in place a Pandemic Business Continuity Plan. This plan includes the following precautions effective until through April 15th (after this our leadership will reevaluate): 1: Increasing emphasis on frequent handwashing and the use of hand sanitizer in the event handwashing is unavailable. 2.Encouraging social distance protocols to keep a greater distance between individuals. 3.Office walk-in services will be suspended unless there is an emergency, or an appointment made in advance; homeowners are encouraged to contact us via one of our many communications options: Logging into the Portal: www.InfoHOA.com Instant Message: www.InfoHOA.com or www.HPSmanagement.com (icon lower right corner) Email: Admin@InfoHOA.com Calling by phone: Delaware: 302-227-7878 Maryland: 410-939-1500 or 301-971-0400 North Carolina: 984-833-1500 Pennsylvania: 267-930-1500 South Carolina: 843-806-1500 or 864-874-1500 Washington, DC: 202-516-9890 4.Since our entire system is designed for team members to work remotely while on-the-go, our team members, especially your community manager will work mostly from home but will continue to make site visits to the community. 5.We strongly encourage the Board of Directors for community associations to postpone their association meetings or consider moving the meetings online via voice and video chat service. We are providing this service for FREE through April 15th. Out of an abundance of caution, managers will not be permitted to attend meetings in-person through April 15 (after this our leadership will reevaluate); however, managers will be available for FREE video and voice meetings. Please email your manager directly if you wish to utilize this FREE service. 6.Shared and/or public workspaces are limited but those that are used (including but not limited to countertops, desks, doorknobs/handles) will be wiped down throughout the day. We will notify you via e-mail broadcasts, through social media, and on our websites that are noted above should there be any changes or updates. This situation is still evolving, and we are monitoring and adjusting our plan as needed. If you find yourself feeling ill or prefer to stay at home, remember that you can take care of all your community association needs from the comfort of your own home. If you haven’t signed up for online free online portal (www.InfoHOA.com), now is the perfect time to do it so you’re prepared, just in case. If you have questions or would like further information on any of this, please don’t hesitate to call or email us.

Spruce Up Your Place This Spring For those green thumbs living in tiny quarters, an impressive garden may seem unattainable. However, many are turning toward urban gardening, bringing plant life into unique spaces and growing gardens in every nook and cranny. As more people move to urban areas, urban gardens are becoming more popular, and encouraging those who have never planted to go dig in the dirt to see what comes up. While urban gardening does have its challenges, we have a few tips on how to overcome them to bring your small garden into full bloom. Know Your Plot Before you go on a planting spree, take the time to plan out the logistics of your garden. Will it be in your back yard, on your porch, on the roof, on a window sill? Is your intended spot part of the association’s common ground? Check with the association before you start. How much direct or partial sunlight does that area get, and is that the right amount of sunlight for your plants? Is your space large enough to house the plants when they’re full grown? And, if not, do you have a bigger space where you can relocate them? Will you be doing container gardening, or will you be planting in the ground? What steps do you need to take to get your soil ready for planting? Answering these questions is important before you begin gardening, as the different environments will affect your plant life. Having a plan can help you avoid unnecessary chaos. Know Your Plants All plants aren’t created equal and knowing which will best suit your urban garden is a must for robust growth. Often, urban gardeners will be restricted by space or the need to plant only in containers. They will also need compact plants that can thrive in those conditions, such as herbs, tomatoes, peppers, marigolds, zinnias and the like. And be sure to know what your plants need, such as when and how deep to plant them, as well as how much light and water they need. Also, will they need to be started as seedlings under a grow light until they’re hearty enough to go outdoors, and what mixture of soil do they need to flourish? Being ready to address your plants’ needs is an important step in making sure they grow to their full potential. Know When to Transplant Container gardeners will need to be vigilant about making sure they transplant their plants into the right containers as they grow. If your plant is in a container that’s too small, the roots will become restricted, causing the soil to dry out quicker, so you’ll need to move your plant to a roomier home. Be careful, though, not to use too large a container, as the roots won’t be large enough to suck up all the moisture in the soil, which can lead to root rot. A good rule of thumb in choosing the right size container is to make sure your plant is neither overflowing or dwarfed by the container, and that there’s a few inches of dirt that can be seen around the plant. The next time your plants hit a growth spurt, make sure they have the right amount of space to live comfortably. Get Creative The best part about an urban garden is that you can set it up anywhere and make it anything you want. Your garden can be in places like your patio, your front door steps or anywhere else good sunlight hits—and the association permits. No matter what your living area is like, if you’ve got a bit of imagination you can make an urban garden that’s uniquely your own. https://hpsmanagement.com/hoa-community-living-blog/spruce-up-your-place-this-spring

Good Neighbors Make a Great HOA A simple “hello,” a wave as you walk by, or organizing a community activity are just some of the ways you can be a good neighbor. However, as remote working, virtual learning, and social distancing have become the norm, finding new ways to be an engaged neighbor have never been more important. According to a new CAI survey, nearly 90% of respondents who live in a community association say they have engaged with their neighbors during the COVID-19 pandemic. How have residents supported each other? Running small errands, helping with grocery shopping, and picking up prescriptions ranked among the top ways neighbors are keeping each other stay safe and healthy during these challenging times. Residents also report organizing activities to provide joy and levity during the pandemic. Being an engaged resident is important for the well-being of a community. More than 60% of respondents say they volunteer on their homeowners association’s board, and nearly 50% participate in social events and recreational activities organized by residents. How well do you know your neighbors? CAI’s survey found that close to 60% say they know their neighbors very well. Additionally, an overwhelming 90% of respondents believe they are a good neighbor, citing being caring, helpful, and respectful as characteristics that contribute to an overall healthy community. https://hpsmanagement.com/hoa-community-living-blog/good-neighbors-make-a-great-hoa
