Cohousing-L Mailing List: we need a nudge in the right direction...

[Ali Woolwich (alioxinfree]

Unable to find any lists still in existance about
urban collectives or co-ops, I turn to you folks for
some suggestions/resources. Why?

I am the founder of a 6-person collective household
that rents in San Francisco, CA, USA. We have been
getting advice from the Tenant's Union, but our new
landlord just wants us out, and is pulling out all the
legal stops to evict us.

We'd like to perhaps (ha! the optimism!) purchase a
house, so this wouldn't happen again. Basically, we
need to know where to search for the information about
Tenants' In Common or other such options. We've heard
there's some help through the No. Cal. Land Trust that
helps collectives buy homes under the auspices of
affordable housing, but no one seems to know contact
info or the right name to look up.

If you'd be willing to point me towards an office, a
co-op-er who's been through the process, the right
name in the phone book, or even a (to be respectfully
used!) phone number, I would be eternally greatful.

Thank you so much for your help. In Earnest,
-Ali Woolwich of Casa Roja
