National Cohousing Conference 2024
In 2024, we return to our Colorado roots (did you know CohoUS began as the 
Rocky Mountain Cohousing Network?) and reconnect with what brings us together 
in the first place: an experience of deep connection and belonging. Our 
biennial conference will be a space for connection, learning, and growth. We 
will listen deeply, share openly, and reflect on the past, present, and future 
of the cohousing movement. While grounded in our commitment to belonging, we 
will explore strategies to make cohousing a more equitable and diverse space.
