Cohousing-L Mailing List: associate members in the neighborhood

[Joyce Cheney (jcheneyjc]

We're a 17yr old cohousing community with 34 units. Neighborhood households
(directly adjacent, a few -or severa-l blocks away...) have asked to be
associate members. How has your community handled this request and why? If
you have associate members (not during construction, as a step toward full
membership, but once your community is fully functioning), what are the
terms? What's your advice? Thanks, Joyce from Casa Verde Commons, Colorado
Springs
