NEW COHOUSING NEIGHBORHOOD COMING TO CORVALLIS


The CoHo Cohousing group will present  "Cohousing and Our Community", at the
Corvallis Benton County library on Sunday, October 27 at 7pm.


CoHo is a forming group that plans to build a neighborhood of 20 to 30
privately owned homes using the concept of cohousing. Cohousing communities
are small-scale neighborhoods created with resident participation, which
provide a balance between personal privacy and the advantages of community
living. In cohousing, residents know their neighbors very well and there is
a strong sense of community that is absent in today's cities and suburbs.
Private homes enjoy convenient access to shared space, including a "common
house" with facilities such as a kitchen, dining room, a play room for
children, workshops, guest rooms, office space, a sitting area and laundry.
Each home is self sufficient with a complete kitchen. In addition, cohousing
neighborhoods typically offer optional resident cooked meals in the common
house a few times each week.

Cohousing was brought to this country in 1988 by the husband/wife design
team of Kathryn McCamant and Chuck Durrett. Its origins were in Denmark in
the 1970's and it was introduced to the U.S. in 1988. Residents moved into
the first American cohousing project in 1991. (Muir Commons in Davis, CA).
Currently there are more than 150 cohousing neighborhoods in North America
completed, under construction, or in the development process.

The CoHo presentation on Sunday the 27th will be followed by discussion and
refreshments. For more information regarding CoHo or cohousing contact Bruce
or Judy Hecht at (541) 754-3028 or Julie Firman or Erik Olson at 738-6356.
