About  [Edit]

The mission of the Cohousing Association of the United States (Coho/US) is to:
• Promote the cohousing movement
• Support individuals and groups in creating communities
• Provide assistance to completed groups for improving their systems for living together in community
• Create networking opportunities for those involved or interested in cohousing

http://www.cohousing.org/aboutus.aspx


We are committed to integrating the needs and hopes of all champions of cohousing. We believe that we can accomplish this mission on a realistic budget, through the work of many volunteers and through modest staffing. Working together, we can make a significant difference. Cohousing communities combine the advantages of private homes with the benefits of more sustainable living, including shared common facilities and ongoing connections with neighbors. These intentional neighborhoods, created and managed by residents, offer an innovative solution to today's environmental and social challenges.

Cohousing is a type of collaborative housing in which residents actively participate in the design and operation of their own neighborhoods. Cohousing residents are consciously committed to living as a community. The physical design encourages both social contact and individual space. Private homes contain all the features of conventional homes, but residents also have access to common facilities such as open space, courtyards, a playground and a common house.
