Have there been any studies on failure rates that correlate failure rate
with use of professional services? I would find this particularly
interesting. I think in BC the success rate for Cohousing communities
that have used professional services is markedly higher, and that
distinction can be important when trying to get initial backing from
financial institutions.
If anyone knows of such a study, I'd love to find out the details. Daniel On 5/4/2010 9:07 AM, Robert Heinich wrote:
I do not have Diana Leafe Christian's books with me at work, but if memory serves, intentional communities in general had a 90% failure rate and cohousing development had a 75% failure rate. A quick search produced this http://blogs.salon.com/0002007/2005/01/01.html which supports these figures. However, I agree that the Great Recession was not helpful to forming group. -Robert Heinich Eno Commons Cohousing Durham, NC http://www.enocommons.org where we just had our retreat at nearby Eno River State Park On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 11:50 AM, Bob Morrison<RHmorrison [at] aol.com> wrote:In a recent posting, Craig wrote that Diana Leafe Christian wrote that only 25% of forming groups succeed thru completion of the project. Does this mean cohousing, or intentional communities in general? A few years ago I read that the failure rate of cohousing groups is about 50%. So it looks like the failure rate has gotten worse over the last few years. I am not surprised. The recession has had a devastating effect on forming groups.
