Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Large units for people with kids

[Elizabeth Stevenson (tamgoddess]

In contrast, we have a better disribution of unit size to family size,
because we got affordable housing funding. Otherwise, my family would be in
a 2 bedroom house.

This is a good reason to try to get subsidies. It's worth the extra effort.
You will get income diversity, as well as those families you seek.
