Cohousing is based on private home ownership. So if you want to own a home you have to be able to make a mortgage (10% down and high monthly payments) or you have to be subsidized in some way. There are a number of cohousing projects which have been able to get money to subsidize some or all of the unit owners. But it takes dedication and work, nobody will do it for you. Some cohousing groups allow for rentals which makes space for non-owners, and a few places have even set up coops within cohousing, where 3-4 people co-own a cohousing unit together. There are many other kinds of Intentional Community that are not based on private home ownership that have very little economic barriers to joining. Good luck on your search, Rob Sandelin Sharingwood Cohousing _______________________________________________ Cohousing-L mailing list Cohousing-L [at] cohousing.org Unsubscribe and other info: http://www.communityforum.net/mailman/listinfo/cohousing-l
