Mariposa Grove Cohousing is a democratically-governed community in North Oakland including renters and homeowners... A brief note on learnings from the States: www.communityledhousing.london/mariposa-gro...

another policy tool that IPCC says amplifies power of sufficiency? cohousing! 'Cohousing strategies provide users a shared space (i.e., for laundry, offices, guest rooms and dining rooms) to complement their private space... while offering social benefits such as limiting loneliness of elderly'

anyway it's not every day your design philosophy (decarbonized energy efficient single stair multigenerational bike friendly urban cohousing) is a central theme in adapting to climate change. more on what that could look like here: www.larchlab.com/baugruppen/

@rowanmoore.bsky.social shows Hazelmead cohousing is '... affordable, sustainable and neighbourly. It hasn’t been easy ... ... but this project makes a convincing argument for the benefits of all that effort.' @hannahfearn.bsky.social #housing observer.co.uk/culture/arch...

Residents talk of the "generosity" of the place, of the level of care, of people looking out for each other ... #cohousing observer.co.uk/culture/arch...

PBS: "many people are finding themselves lonelier than ever. It’s a crisis that is especially prevalent among young adults." Cohousing is structured to create social situations where people can connect and share and be vulnerable together. Meals, work, parties, informal outings. youtu.be/6nzyPnn2eTQ

I love Co housing so much. Having a small tight knit community on your doorstep is just lovely. I know this isn't exclusive to cohousing and some streets or villages manage it, but i've never had this experience before in any place I've lived

Cohousing stuff: I love the opportunity to help and support my neighbours even in small ways, as much as I appreciate the help and support I receive from them.

Join us for our next get-together at members Anne & Mary's home on Friday, May 23. Meet members, learn about our vision of cohousing, and what condo units are still available. See you there! #cohousing #intergenerational #oakparkillinois #newcondos #chicagocondos #chicagosuburbs #oakparkil #condos

🌍Espalied trees We're lucky to have an espalied apple tree along the side of our home. Our cohousing community has a variety of espalied fruit trees to help maximize space and production.🧵

I lived in Duwamish co-housing in West Seattle. By the time I moved in most of the original residents had moved on, but the consensus process and since of community remained. Building a community is a very different task then building a structure.

National #cohousing week is underway! Join the free #CohoUS national virtual gathering starting shortly on East Coast communities (VT/Mid-Atlantic) plus Research, and different regions/topics every day this week, plus open houses everywhere this weekend. www.cohousing.org/open-house-2...

Where would you start if you had to 'design a community'? Well hopefully you might find yourself heading down the lines of #cohousing. The houses are high quality and efficient, the development is car light, and there's an emphasis on sharing. www.houseplanninghelp.com/hph335-desig...

Two schemes have received the Pineapple award for Healthy Homes! 🍍 Congratulations to Hazelmead, Bridport for Bridport Cohousing CLT w. Barefoot Architects. This project successfully incorporates the Healthy Homes Principles into its design, delivery & governance: www.tcpa.org.uk/resources/he...

I’m very appreciative of all who came out to protest today. This weekend our #cohousing community is having a retreat to strengthen our connections and common goals and learn tools to better navigate conflict and repair relationships. Slides on healthy and unhealthy use of power in community.

Cohousing originated in Denmark around the 1970s. There are nearly 200 communal living communities in the U.S. today, including Skagit Commons, a cohousing community for people over the age of 55.

Shelly Parks lives at Skagit Commons and owns a cohousing consulting business. “We have to come together,” she said, “especially with all that's going on right now. I might not be able to control the world out there, but I can have some control of what's happening within my community.”

"When a neighbor falls ill, others bring meals. When someone loses a job, community members share leads and resources... This level of mutual support isn’t just comforting—it’s life-changing." #SolidarityTribune #Cohousing #Independent #Media #Lifestyle

La Ser, visita Trabensol, uno de los cohousing senior pioneros en nuestro país. Abrió sus puertas en 2013: https://cadenaser.com/nacional/2025/04/06/esto-no-es-una-residencia-de-mayores-cohousing-senior-una-nueva-forma-de-vivir-en-comunidad-cadena-ser/ #cohousing #cesiondeuso #cooperativa

🏡 From Denmark to Portland, co-housing is reshaping how we live—fostering community, sustainability, and belonging. The Boliglaboratorium exhibit sparks a vital conversation: Housing isn’t just about space, it’s about connection. 🌱✨ #CoHousing #CommunityLiving #BetterCities

El municipio de El Sauzal, en un esfuerzo por promover alternativas de vivienda más justas y accesibles, ha tomado la delantera en #canarias al aprobar una medida que busca frenar la especulación inmobiliaria. Esta iniciativa se centra en la bonificación del Impuesto sobre Construcciones […]

You've discovered the secret of #cohousing, @jentrification.com: get beyond family to find and make good neighbors through effective participatory design of physical & social structures. You don't have to love all your neighbors, just enuf to get work done. Having the privacy of your own home helps.

This is why to live in community: shared space, supportive neighbors make it easy to do good! Congrats to the DC #cohousing neighborhood hosting this in their Common House. What are you doing / will you do in your community space?

Looking forward to visiting the first #ChicagoLand cohousing neighborhood once it opens.

We've created a #StarterPack of #cohousing neighborhoods on BlueSky, both established & in formation. Who else should be on this list? We can include similar groups like #HousingCoops and #ecovillages so long as they share mix of privacy & community, resident leadership ... bsky.app/starter-pack...

This lovely community in SW Colorado is growing and has room for you to buy and build homes in their next phase.

In #Spain, there are 12 senior #cohousing projects in operation and around 20 in development. More than a roof over people’s heads, they are meant as an alternative to regular residences and unwanted #loneliness.

Trying it again: we still have apartments in Brussels new best #CoHousing in Ixelles. Anyone looking for a different style of living? We call it a village in the big city. No info-session anymore - we do individual interviews and site visits. Hurry up: we'll sign the legal acts in May!

For some, #HousingCoops can be a forever home in community. For others, just getting any form of #homeownership is the essential piece; if all your income goes to rent, how do you save? This is a piece of the puzzle.

They get it in #ireland: #SeniorCohousing where folks can better get their needs met through #AgingInCommunity (not just #AgingInPlace) means more family-friendly homes available for those who need them.

Boulder, Colorado is the US city with the most #cohousing neighborhoods... and laws, tools, and advocates that have led to lots of #HousingCoops like this new one.

Glad to see that Canada's 2025 budget continues support for #SocialHousing including co-ops.

In Kürze endet das Forschungsprojekt Co-Hope, gefördert im EU-Horizon-2020-Programm. Mein zentraler Beitrag: *Guidebook Co-Creating Collaborative Housing Communities*, entwickelt in Workshops in allen beteiligten Ländern und nun online verfügbar: www.inigbw.org/guidebook-co...

Note that #cohousing is part of the Social Housing movement in Europe and elsewhere... how can we make that more visible in the US? History can help.

We've renamed! What was cohousingmovement.bsky.app is now simply, short and sweet: cohousing.in on BlueSky. Next: putting something at that domain (we've got plans to help you find and build cohousing wherever you call home).

There are 341 existing or planned cohousing communities in the United States of various styles. Tulsa's is one of two in Oklahoma. #tulsa #housing

Our new building, located at 839 Madison Street, in Oak Park, Illinois, is set to be completed in fall 2025. Our local and not so local members can't wait to move in! Curious about cohousing? Check out our site: oakparkcommons.com. #cohousing #sustainableliving #intergenerationalliving #newcondos

Have you settled on a community? These neighborhoods intrigue and excite me. #cohousing unites US!

Build Cohousing it’s the antidote to loneliness

The @barcelonacat.bsky.social cohousing model has positive effects in the physical, mental, emotional, and collective health of inhabitants. This is the evidence of a recent report of the Barcelona Public Health Agency. Some links to the articles in English here: www.linkedin.com/posts/guille...

Dublin Cohousing was ahead of its time - a small group of us worked hard to make it happen 25 years ago but just couldn't get land near the city centre that was affordable and no gov support, of course. (We had planned for all ages though - not just over 55s...) www.irishtimes.com/ireland/hous...

New Post: Cohousing in Ireland: A Growing Solution for Community Living buff.ly/91vBuww

@oakparkcommons.bsky.social welcome to BlueSky! Excited your progress. Any plans for National Cohousing Open House week? We can help get the word out.

'Thirty years ago, a group of friends in BC set out to create a new kind of ecovillage—and they built it under glass. 30 miles south of Vancouver, WindSong is Canada’s first cohousing community, designed with pedestrian streets covered by a greenhouse-style roof.’ youtube.com/watch?v=VVNT...

Every #cohousing neighborhood has the seeds of an #ecovillage: sustainable community, resident leadership, and a willingness to live well together and collaborate on problem solving.

I’ve lived in two #cohousing neighborhoods and visited 140 over the last quarter century. It really can deliver an intergenerational community plus privacy blend.
