Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Alternatives for creating inexpensive homes...

[JoycePlath (JoycePlath]

In Arcata Ca. we are currently working with a developer to create a 
twenty-four home Cohousing community that will be affordable.  Our strategy is 
to build 
two story structures with only the first floor (approximately 600 to 800 
square feet) finished with a kitchen, bath, bedroom, and living room.  The 
upstairs will be rough plumbed for a second bathroom and plans provided for a 
couple 
of floor plan options.  These homes will qualify for a city grant for first 
time home buyers that will provide for very low down payments.  We expect to 
begin construction in 2005.
