Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: The Future of Cohousing

[peterpiper (peterpiper]

There was a good discussion on this list a year ago about affordability. 
In the UK we are using a legal and financial model called a Mutual Home 
Ownership Society where residents pay 35% of their income to finance 
equity shares. The homes themselves and Common house are owned by the 
society. This ensures it is permanently affordable in perpetuity. See my 
post from last years list archive:
