ABOUT US

The Cranston Residents’ Association (CRA) was created to ensure that the features and facilities of

Cranston are maintained and managed for the long-term use and enjoyment of residents. The CRA sets

a desired course for the use of common facilities, such as the Century Hall, and helps ensure their

financial sustainability over time.

Membership in the CRA is automatic and mandatory with the purchase of a home in Cranston.

The payment of dues is reviewed and established annually, and is secured by a Rent Encumbrance

(subject to upward adjustment for Inflation) registered on the title to each member’s lot. The CRA

is administered by a Board of Directors made up of Carma and resident representatives.
