What we do

We’re a diverse group of individuals and families who have been meeting together since early 2007 to build a cohousing community with clustered housing and shared infrastructure in Belfast, Maine.
We’re working to create a community model which combines affordability, sustainability, and healthy community processes.
We seek a close-knit, cooperative, and ecologically conscious way of life, open to people of all ages, lifestyles, beliefs, and backgrounds.
We want to maintain the land around us — including our fields, forests and waterways — in as natural a state as possible, preserving our farmlands for farming (preferably chemical-free) and utilizing sustainable harvesting practices on our forested land.
We value community activity, shared resources, self-sufficiency, local food production, simplicity above complexity, safe access to recreation areas, integration with our wider local community through outreach, education, CSAs, etc, and connections with larger cultural circles & urban areas.

True North CoHousing Community Seeking Founders

True North is a small, women-centered intentional community where self-directed, purposeful women share space, resources, and genuine commitment to each other’s wellbeing. We are building something that is greater than the sum of its parts — a life that is richer, more secure, and more meaningful because we are living it together. Our Vision A community where no one falls through the cracks. Where aging is something we navigate together rather than alone. Where the people around you notice when you’re struggling, celebrate when you’re thriving, and show up — not because they have to, but because that’s simply who we are to each other. We are building this as a tiny house village — a model we chose deliberately. Many intentional communities require crazy buy-in sums, putting them out of reach for most women navigating life on a single income. We believe that financial accessibility isn’t a compromise — it’s a value. Your home will be yours: as simple or as appointed as fits your life and circumstances, sized right for the life you are living now and the one you are building toward. We live lightly on the land and invest heavily in the relationships that make life worth living. We’re currently forming our founding group — the women who will help shape what this community becomes, where it lands, and how it lives. Not ready to be a founder but feel this in your gut? We want to hear from you too. There’s a place for you here at whatever stage feels right. https://www.truenorthcommunity.info/ jh*******@****on.me
