Cambridge Cohousing (MA) has 41 units, about 95
residents, of whom about 30 are children under age 15. One of our initial
families (then with 2 children) put a condition on their membership: their
initial LLP "down-payment" would be returned if within a certain period of time
(pre-construction) we did not have one-third of the membership, families with
children under age 15. That pushed us to do outreach and we all really
worked hard, including the requesting family, to make sure we met the
"quota." Since that time, more babies have been born, more on the way and
last June a family moved in with 4 children!
For families who want the advantages of city
living, our 1.5 acre site with lots of lawn and a safe place to play has been a
"draw!"
