Cohousing is a cooperative, intentional neighborhood characterized by private dwellings, common facilities, and persons consciously committed to living as community. The physical design encourages living lightly on the land and facilitates social contact. Participation in group decision, projects, chores, some meals, and celebrations is the glue that strengthens the relationships. Cohousing offers promising solutions to many of today’s challenging social and environmental concerns.
