Cohousing-L Mailing List: Fair Housing and Cohousing in Oregon

[Lisa Kuntz (lisa.kuntz]

The Membership Team at Daybreak Cohousing in Portland, Oregon
is studying how Fair Housing laws affect our community, specifically
information that we share with potential members.

Our "big" question is:

What constitutes preferential treatment and how is that different from
being discriminatory?

We have many specific questions that are unique to living in
multigenerational cohousing, such as our requirements for participation,
limitations such as informing potential buyers that we are *not* an
assisted living facility, or contextual safety concerns.

We welcome your feedback and ideas on how to navigate this.

Thanks,
