Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Senior CoHousing age policy

[Linda Hobbet (coho]

Village Hearth Cohousing, a 55+ community, has no policy about minimum 
age. We have 28 units. Currently all have at least one resident  who is 
at least 55 ( I think everyone is over 55 but I'm not sure). We could 
have up to 5 units occupied by people under 55 but we don't expect it to 
be an issue. Our units are small with no more than two bedrooms. 
Cohousing often skews older even in multi-generation communities. I know 
of at least one local community that is designated multi-generation but 
has no residents under 55.

One reason for no minimum is that we know grandparents sometimes need to 
take in grandchildren and we wouldn't want to force someone to move out 
because of that.
