I have lived in 2 types of community other than cohousing, and I have 
investigated one more.  All 3 had some method of screening new members.  The 
processes varied, taking from months to years.  The communities I have lived 
in:  The 
Monastery of the Poor Clares, Kokomo, Indiana and The Word of God Community, 
Ann Arbor Michigan.  The community I investigated was Twin Oaks, Louisa, 
Virginia.  Of these, The Monastery of the Poor Clares had the longest screening 
process.  I believe that it is also the oldest of the three.
