Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Affordable co-housing?

[April Adams (kala.chandra]

I'd really be interested in that.  My boyfriend, daughter and I would love

community, however, bad circumstances have left us without much savings and
me with poor credit.  Please let me know what you find out about low-income
co-housing.
