The Edgewood Information Archive

June 27, 2024

Archive image of an early EdgewoodHOA.org community flyer announcing the launch of the independent resident discussion website during the initial stages of growing community concern regarding HOA governance, communication, and homeowner participation within the Edgewood community in Citrus Heights, California.

The document presents the website as a grassroots communications platform intended to provide residents with a shared space for discussion, organizing, and community engagement outside of official HOA-controlled channels. The flyer describes a long-term vision for the website as a future community resource featuring neighborhood information, photography, online services, and resident communication tools.

The announcement emphasizes that the project was created in response to conversations with homeowners who allegedly felt isolated, unheard, or discouraged from participating in HOA matters. The text describes frustration among residents regarding treatment by HOA leadership and argues that many community members were unaware that others shared similar concerns.

The flyer identifies the website primarily as a discussion forum, encouraging residents to communicate openly, build relationships with neighbors, discuss governance issues, and work collectively toward community change. The document also references concerns that the HOA board had become exclusionary toward portions of the membership and stresses the idea that all homeowners deserve a voice within the community.

The archived artifact includes early branding for EdgewoodHOA.org, contact information associated with the project, and messaging centered on transparency, communication, and resident participation during the formative stages of the 2024 community advocacy and recall movement.
