This Year’s Conference promises an amazing lineup of offerings, from innovative approaches to developing new and affordable communities, to potent ways to enhance our vibrant communities.
We will cover cohousing basics as well as hot topics in sustainability, community building, and the evolving definition of cohousing. Our “next generation theme” will explore the new wave of urban, senior and agricultural communities, check-in with our now-adult children of cohousing, and celebrate communities that have thrived for over 20 years.
A packed program, but the conference allows plenty of time for networking, tours of cohousing communities, and fun!
Next Generation Themes:
The now-adult, children of cohousing
The next wave of urban, rural and senior cohousing
Emerging trends in financing, design and community models
The evolving definition of cohousing
Cohousing as a model for other communities nationally
Established communities celebrating 20+ years
Since the first American cohousing communities were completed in the early 1990’s, more than 135 communities have been built, with more than a hundred in process. Small and large, urban and rural, newly built and retrofits, these communities have consistently been at the forefront creating environmentally and socially sustainable neighborhoods.
