Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: article about senior cohousing

[Jack & Carolyn Salmon (2salmon]

The woman who is the guiding spirit of the proposed cohousing project in 
Lakeland, Fl has been active in senior cohousing circles for several years, 
including serving on the board of Sage Senior Cohousing Advocates.   She also 
has strong connections with cohousing professionals, including Charles Durrett 
and Katie McCamant.  Florida has not been fertile ground for cohousing in any 
form, so putting together a group to develop and eventually live in a cohousing 
community has been very challenging.   She found a group of folks with specific 
needs for whom cohousing has many benefits…combating loneliness is one.   A 
supportive environment for families with adult children with disabilities seems 
like a natural for cohousing.
