In Sebastopol we designated two of our 14 units as "low income" meaning that the price was lowered at initial purchase. The city subsidized part of their purchase. However, before we ever sold our houses to members we all had to come up with the cash to build - we had a big "co-pay" with our construction loan (what's the non-medical term??). As Rob notes, it is a multi-million dollar operation needing capital at the start.

Hello co-housing listers - i'm sure this thread exists somewhere (and feel free to send me to the thread if it exists)but i wanted to get your thoughts on building *affordable* co-housing. That is, are there examples out there of co- housing communities where some of the units are built to be *affordable* or even accessible to low-income people while other units are built along more traditional lines (economically)? We are a community in the development phase and trying to figure out how to make the community accessible to a range of incomes. It seems as I look at the literature (and talk with folks) that really co-housing is accessible to traditional middle-class folks who can go get a 150- 200,000$ mortgage. All the members of our group cannot do that, and we would like to create a mixed-income/class community. What are other groups experiences with this? All input welcome! thanks, jennifer -- Be the change you wish to see in others.
