Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Cohousing for people with a disability

living within cohousing?


Western Australia's http://www.pinakarri.org.au/ includes a person with a
disability, who gets paid support by members of that community (hope I'm
paraphrasing Robyn Williams correctly here).

http://www.cohousing.org/resources/library/cfs.html explores the scope that
cohousing may offer to people with chronic fatigue syndrome.

Government agencies could be interested in subsidising adaptations to enable
people with a disability to live in a cohousing development, as the trend is
towards tagging funding to individual care. The proviso is that the money
spent should demonstrate greater independence / a lesser need for paid
staff.

regards,

Hans
