Background checks are a hot topic. My first point: please don’t assume that it is only men who are perpetrators of sexual abuse, unfortunately, it is not. I have worked in the mental health field for over 25 years. My second point: In our community we decided background checks would cause more problems than they solved - what would we do with the information, how could we not discriminate if people have been convicted and served their time? Too many sticky situations to navigate when we know that people of color are more likely to be caught and convicted. We do not run background checks instead we put the burden of qualifying financially to purchase a home on each homebuyer. My third point: Our community did decide to check each prospective member against the National Sex Offender Registry. This is public information about convicted sex offenders and is easily available. Goggle DOJ NSOPW. Our website states that we check names against this registry. It is my observation that cohousing is an ideal environment for a child molester. He or she would typically be a charming and helpful person and would find a community of trusting, open, sharing adults. This could be a child molester’s dream come true. I think it’s important for us all to be knowledgable, have healthy boundaries and believe children when they speak up even if it’s hard to imagine. Jennie Lindberg Sunnyside Village Cohousing
