Cohousing-L Mailing List: COHOUSING PRESENTATION IN AUBURN, California

COHOUSING PRESENTATION IN AUBURN, California
Thursday May 27, 2004 at 6:00 p.m.

In an effort to address issues of sprawl and affordability, Auburn City
Councilman Mike Holmes has organized a free presentation about cohousing by
The CoHousing Company. Cohousing communities cluster private,
self-sufficient dwellings around a community center. Potential homeowners
participate in the development of the community and help establish
priorities from the very beginning. The resulting tightly-knit
intergenerational neighborhoods make it easy for families to share
childcare, yard work, and other resources. Clustering the homes and
designing for energy efficiency reduces both day-today costs and the impact
on the environment.

The CoHousing Company has designed and developed dozens of such communities
including ten in Northern California. The company, founded by cohousing
pioneers Kathryn McCamant and Charles Durrett, will start construction later
this summer on the Nevada City Cohousing Community and is currently seeking
sites for new communities in the Sacramento and Foothill region. Learn more

Event will take place at the AUBURN COMMUNITY CENTER on 1225 Lincoln Way in
Auburn.
