We are proud to participate in Associa’s Great Give Back and to partner with organizations that make such a positive impact on local families.” The volunteer event brought team members together in support of a shared goal: creating greater access to educational resources for children and families throughout the Houston area. By helping organize books for home libraries, the team played a role in ensuring children have access to reading materials that can support academic achievement and encourage a lifelong passion for learning. Through initiatives like Associa’s Great Give Back, Houston Community Management Services remains committed to giving back to the communities it serves and supporting organizations that create lasting positive change. ### About Associa   With more than 340 branch offices across five countries, Associa is building the future of community for more than 7.5 million residents worldwide.
