At minimum we would be a group focused on the well bring of our members.
I also propose that we develop beyond that minimum with a mission such as the following:

A draft of goals in support of the proposed mission:
1. As a community, share housing to reduce our ecological footprint and support quality living.
2. Promote the importance of various benefits of the ecosystem.
3. Model and effectively advocate practices in sustainability.
4. Advance just distribution of resources in support of the impoverished, future generations, and biodiversity.
Examples of services we might provide: a bike shop, radio repair shop, produce sales, landscaping, soil improvement, speakers, an arts center, and a nature conservation and restoration corps.
Proposed minimum requirements for residential membership:
1. Willingness to share a low ecological-footprint urban residence.
2. Willingness to engage in enhancing the domicile and quality of life.
3. Payment of monthly bills for housing, utilities, and enhancements. Estimated cost is $250 to $500 per month per bedroom, with an estimated typical monthly price of $320 for a one-person bedroom.

5. Health consciousness.
