Cohousing-L Mailing List: National Advocacy for Cohousing

[David Entin (davidentin]

The Cohousing Association of the United States has established an Affordable 
Cohousing Task Group that is spearheading efforts to make future cohousing more 
affordable for a greater diversity of income levels.   The 2011 annual National 
Cohousing Conference will be in Washington, DC, in mid-June.  Prior to the 
conference we will be meeting with like-minded national organizations in the 
fields of housing and sustainability and want to reach out to the appropriate 
policy decision-makers and especially the US Congress to educate them on the 
value of cohousing, particularly to address the issues of community and 
sustainability that face our nation.  We are looking for allies who can assist 
us, especially those who have contacts and relationships with Congresspeople 
and Senators and/or their staffs.  If you are able to assist us with these 
advocacy efforts on behalf of the cohousing movement, please let me know:   
David Entin, Board member and vice president, Cohousing Assn. of the US, and 
resident, Rocky Hill Cohousing, Northampton, MA.  davidentin [at] comcast.net.
