The City of Alexandria announced on Mar. 9 that registration is open for upcoming Condominium and Community Association Training sessions, with the next event focusing on leasing a condominium unit scheduled for March 28. The city, in partnership with Mercer Trigiani, an Alexandria-based law firm, will offer these educational workshops at no cost to participants during fiscal year 2026, though advance registration is required.
These sessions are designed to support residents involved in common interest communities such as condominiums, townhomes, cooperatives, and similar housing types. The city said it aims to broaden awareness of community association management to help preserve affordable homeownership options and maintain economic and social diversity in the region. Condominiums have traditionally been the most accessible form of homeownership for first-time buyers in Alexandria.
The next two scheduled workshops include “Leasing a Condo” on March 28 from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., followed by “Dealing with Difficult People” on April 25 during the same hours. Interested individuals can register online or contact the Office of Housing for more information.
Alexandria provides services to residents, businesses, and visitors within its defined boundaries as an independent city, according to the official website. The city operates under a council-manager government structure where the City Council selects a manager responsible for operations according to the official website.
In addition to housing initiatives, Alexandria incorporates racial and social equity into its policies and decisions to foster fair outcomes across the community per the official website. The city’s museums and historic sites also play a role in enhancing community identity by interpreting local social and cultural history according to the official website, while institutions like the Alexandria Black History Museum document African American heritage as noted on the official website.
For those interested in archaeological research or preservation efforts, partnerships are coordinated through the Alexandria Archaeological Commission alongside agencies, institutions, and residents according to the official website.
The city encourages anyone needing disability accommodations or language interpretation services for these training sessions to reach out via phone or email as listed in their announcement.
