Tim Cooke will answer all your questions on Co-Housing! This will be an open-forum and your questions and insights are welcomed.

 

HERE is a document on introductory information that Tim prepared for this meeting. 

"Cohousing communities are small residential developments designed and managed w/ significant input from the residents partnering with professionals, creating a very close, supportive community and could be called “the old-fashioned neighborhood of the future”.

Privacy + Sharing. Each household has their own private lives, income and home with traditional amenities; typical legal structure is a Condo Association. Extensive shared facilities usually feature a common house with recreational spaces and a kitchen and dining area large enough for the whole community to gather for occasional shared meals and events. Shared outdoor space may include nooks to gather and chat, open space, and organic gardens. Each community is unique and includes what they desire.

Cohousing provides a safe, secure, housing situation for all ages. Neighbors gather for parties, games, movies, workdays or other events. It is inherently easy to organize child and elder care, and there is always a willing neighbor nearby in the event of an emergency."

If you can't make this meeting, Tim will be hosting another on Tuesday, August 18 at 7 PM.
