Hi Marion,

I learned of three communities when I was preparing for a talk I gave at
the national cohousing conference.

Osprey Village Cohousing
Ohanan Community - Spokane Washington
Borth Street Community Durham North Carolina

You also might want to get in touch with Desiree Kameka, of Madison House
Autism Foundation (copied on this email) who is very interested in helping
establish more communities along your vision.

Best, Laura
