Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Recruiting for Families

[Susan L. Hedgpeth (hedgpeth]

The same is true for Pleasant Hill Cohousing.  Once we had a member with 
children, other families joined.  And now we have lots of families with 
kids.  The original family did not actually move in, but they are still in 
touch with us.

* 32 units, 16 of which have children
* 47 adults
* 27 children (5 of whom were born in the last few months including the 
most recent addition - twins born on June 2!) - the oldest child is 14
