What is Cohousing?

Created by The Cohousing Association of the United States (CohoUS)

Cohousing projects are communities where shared common space is communally managed and governed, but households have their own private living units. Collaborative spaces are a way of living that fosters connectedness and increases social capital for residents.

Learn about cohousing and how to create and support cohousing communities by visiting The Cohousing Association website.
