HOAM is the friendly home for your neighborhood. It brings everything a small, self-managed homeowners or condo association needs into one simple app, so neighbors stay in the loop and volunteer board members spend less time chasing email threads and paper flyers. Built for townhome and condo communities that run themselves, HOAM keeps everyone connected: ANNOUNCEMENTS Post and read community news, from parking reminders to meeting notices and quarterly dues. Important updates can be pinned to the top. NEIGHBOR CHAT Talk with neighbors in friendly channels: General for everyday updates, Marketplace to buy, sell, and give away, and Pets for lost-and-found and recommendations. EVENTS & REMINDERS A shared community calendar for meetings, trash and recycling days, landscaping, and gatherings, with reminders so nothing slips by. Add any event to your own phone calendar in a tap. DOCUMENTS Keep governing documents, budgets, meeting minutes, and rules in one place, readable right in the app. ANSWERS A community Q&A and FAQ for the questions new and current residents always ask, answered by your board. TRUSTED VENDORS A shared list of plumbers, electricians, landscapers, and handymen your neighbors actually recommend. FOR BOARD MEMBERS Community admins can post announcements, manage the calendar and documents, invite residents, and hand off officer roles when terms change, all without a management company. HOAM is a communication and community app. It does not handle dues payments, accounting, or violations. It is simply the easiest way for a neighborhood to talk, share, and stay organized together. Membership is by invitation from your community. If your HOA is not on HOAM yet, tell your board or reach us at livehoam.com.
