I am about to look into another possiblility to extend cohousing to people who can't afford it without assessing cohousing members. While the idea seems a good one and should definitely be investigated I worry about the social consequences. Specifically, wouldn't the person or persons who are the recipients of this good will, especially in so small a community, feel like charity cases, fell unequal, or be felt about that way? However, I wonder, if the monies were to come from outside, with no strings on the autonomy of the community, might that work better? I don't know? I was thinking that some groups like the Quakers and the Unitarians and other church groups might be interested. Some already have an interest in housing. Mostly they think of housing as units they set up, but if they could be convinced to start experimenting with helping people enter non-special interest housing (like housing exclusively for the elderly or disabled or single woman with children) because these are ghettos they could be convinced. I am going to be checking into this. I know one Unitarian group that has a place for the elderly and is thinking of setting up one for woman with children where no spouse/so is around. This would be more like a voucher system. The individual family or person would have to find their own coho, gain entree, etc. Judith wisdom [at] pobox.upenn.edu
