The cohousing model
Cohousing originated in Denmark. The name describes an intentional community of private homes whose owners cooperatively own and use outdoor spaces around the homes, and commonly owned indoor spaces.
Cohousing members manage their communities together, and actively come together to learn, support each other, and enjoy life.

How we can help
We have solutions...
Seniors don't want to spend years developing a cohousing community only to find that the costs escalate beyond their budget. They want it fast, good, and affordable for what their budget allows.
Most cohousing community initiatives fail for predictable reasons: there isn't a viable core group; can't find suitable property; and cost overruns.
