We are in the process of creating a mixed-income cohousing community in the Vancouver/Camas area.
We value:
*Intergenerational residents, ranging from small children to grandparents
*Environmentally sustainable living, including organic gardening/permaculture
*Balance between personal privacy and community living
*Sharing in community activities, decision-making, work, and play
*Honor and respect
*Service to the surrounding area
*Shared community meals with vegetarian/vegan and kosher-friendly options.
We are currently seeking investors and future residents willing to share ideas and contribute to the planning phases of the community, including finding the right location. (Most developments are composed of 20-30 houses or condos and a common house and we plan to stay within those numbers if land size permits.)
Join us in our vision.
