and developing cohousing communities.  We collaborate on projects that
address common needs of cohousers and soon-to-be cohousers as well as folks
just beginning their inquiry into community living.

MAC's purpose is to provide member communities with support and networking
for the everyday challenges we all face, whether building or already living
in our cohousing community.   MAC communities are sources of support and
neighborliness to each other.  We are deeply committed to the art of living

connection among members.
