Cohousing-L Mailing List: Affordable co-housing?

[jle7001 (jle7001]

Hello co-housing listers - i'm sure this thread exists somewhere (and feel free 
to send me to the thread if it exists)but i wanted to get your thoughts on 
building *affordable* co-housing. That is, are there examples out there of co-
housing communities where some of the units are built to be *affordable* or 
even accessible to low-income people while other units are built along more 
traditional lines (economically)? We are a community in the development phase 
and trying to figure out how to make the community accessible to a range of 
incomes. It seems as I look at the literature (and talk with folks) that really 
co-housing is accessible to traditional middle-class folks who can go get a 150-
200,000$ mortgage. All the members of our group cannot do that, and we would 
like to create a mixed-income/class community. What are other groups 
experiences with this? All input welcome! thanks, jennifer
