I'd like to take this discussion into another realm. Fred brought up some very important points I'd like to lead off on. I am a student that will be graduating in May with a degree in Architecture and have been thinking about what the next step is. One road I've been considering is finding a way to be an advocate for cohousing and/or housing for people with disabilities. How to do this I haven't figured out yet, but Fred's discussion is along the line I've been thinking. > There is also a tradition of using the energy of typically younger, less > rooted people to organize for good causes This is true, I would love to find a way to finance visiting and studying cohousing to become an expert and eventually be able to offer advice and possible write a book or hold conferences. In addition, I could be a consultant for those interested in forming cohousing communities as well as government agencies who may need assistance grabbing hold of the idea... I know many people have had difficulties with planning commissions, etc. > Another thing that would help is if we could figure out how to make > cohousing cheaper (See comments in Timeday discussion recently). If > cohousing were less expensive it would free up time and resources to > organize. The idea of affordable cohousing is also an area I am very interested, combining with the need of affordable housing for those with disabilities. I have attended one conference on affordable housing and would really like to pursue this further. I think this is definately an area cohousing needs to grab onto and some communities have begun. So if anyone has any ideas on how I could find a way to fund this - i.e. grants, fellowships, etc., please let me know. I am just starting to begin researching this idea and would like to find how I can further this. I apologize for this being somewhat piecemeal as I am writing this quickly and am still working this out myself. I'd like to know how much support is out there as well. Thank you!
