Our Purpose

Why This Association Exists

The LESSO Holo Homeowners Association brings residents together in a voluntary, non-political way to strengthen our community and support one another.

Engage Local Leadership

Constructive partnership with elders and administration

"This Association is about everyday life: how we live, work, raise families, care for elders, and build dignity together."

Our Foundation

Three Pillars of Community

These pillars work together. None stands alone.

1. Social Wellbeing

Safety, care, shared responsibility, and dignity in daily life. Building a community where everyone feels secure and supported.

2. Culture & Identity

Protecting traditions, stories, skills, and practices that hold the community together and define who we are.

3. Entrepreneurship & Livelihoods

Encouraging small businesses, skills-sharing, and cooperation to strengthen household resilience and economic opportunity.
