A couple of weeks ago I sent an email to this list to see if anyone was interested in discussing the possibility of starting a national non-profit organization (or perhaps a few regional non-profits) to own cohousing rental units. The idea again would be to create a cohousing-friendly corporate owner with capacity and scale that can help make mixed-tenure and mixed-income cohousing more achievable. I imagine it could apply for grant funding from foundations and also develop relationships with community development financial institutions to set up financing to purchase or develop units. The organization(s) could maybe even dialogue and partner with other housing organizations and housing agencies. Since the ethos of such an organization would be based in cohousing, it would be able to work with cohousing communities to keep and further the vision of each community, even as an owner of rental units. I got responses from few people from my earlier email, but if anyone else is interested let me know as I plan to set up a conference call for this discussion in the next few days. Thanks *Jerome L.
