Cohousing-L Mailing List: Creatively & Compassionately Raising Dues?

[Helen Svoboda-Barber (h.svoboda.barber]

In our 25+ year history, our community has discussed raising dues a number
of times. Far more often than not, we end up deciding not to increase
because there are 1-3 households for whom the increase would be too much of
a burden.

Have any communities come up with a compassionate work-around to this?
I would love to find a way so that the ~20 households who are willing to
have their dues increased actually have an increase, but the ~1-3
households that can not afford it do not have the increase.

I'm looking for creative options as our community enters another dues
discussion this year.  Ideas?

Thanks, y'all!
