Quaker House
Ann Arbor, Michigan,
United States
Front Door of Quaker House
 Quaker House Residential Community (QHRC) is a semi-cooperative, socially diverse living community. We share and care for a beautiful six bedroom, turn-of-the-century house in Ann Arbor. We also share strong commitments to multi-cultural, racial, ethnic, LGBTQ inclusivity; delicious semi-vegetarian meals; simple, economical and environmentally friendly living; regular organized work and meeting activities; mature, stable, supportive relationships; open, forthright and honest communication; and friends, family and fun.
Quaker membership is not required though we respect and uphold the spiritual leadings of the Ann Arbor Quaker community (peace, nonviolence, social justice, respect for all...) Common space in Quaker House is frequently used for community events. The house is smoke-free. No pets are allowed. Regular evening meals are a central activity of the residential community. Housemates share meal costs, weekly cooking and cleaning responsibilities, and regular attendance at house and community meetings (two to four hours per week). A monthly financial contribution is also required. There is a formal application procedure.
Please call or email the Resident Host for an application.
