Cohousing-L Mailing List: RE: House location selection

Nancy Wight asked:

Okay all of you veterans of the process... how did you go about
deciding who lives where on the site?


At Sharingwood we did this very simply - first come, first served, with 
the date of initial investment setting your priority on unit selection. 
 We require a 10% downpayment which is the initial investment.  Then 
each person in line choose their lot.

We are modifying this slightly for units in our second phase and 
setting up a minimum work service requirement.  Unit selection goes by 
date of investment plus completion of service requirement hours.  Those 
members which don't complete service requirement go to the end of the 
selection line.
