Cohousing-L Mailing List: Affordable cohousing question

[Sterling Newberry (sterling.newberry]

Dear Friends,I'm Sterling Newberry of Daybreak Cohousing in Portland,
Oregon.  I'm working on finding financing to make a few of our units more
affordable for moderate income cohousers.  We are partnering with a local
Land Trust 501(c)3 in this, and I am doing the leg work to find the
financing.  I think this is a win/win.  Some cohousers get
more affordable units that are affordable in perpetuity, and the donors get
a tax break for their donations toward this project.  If we are successful,
I would also like to explore the possibility of an ongoing program available
to cohousing developments across the country.  This would make it possible
to finance the maximum green features while increasing income diversity in
cohousing.

If you know of any sources of donors, or are a potential donor yourself,
please respond to me off line at sterling.newberry [at] gmail.com .  I can send
more detailed information about our project, as well as a latter from the
Land Trust outlining our partnership with them.
Thanks,
Sterling
