Community Matchmaking: Get Help Finding Your Community

My first communal living experience was in 1972. Since then there have been many group housing situations. Now as a partly-retired grandmother, I no longer wish to live alone. I want to share in a positive way my abilities & skills. I don’t have a great deal of money but do have many talents to bring to a community. I’m a clean, sober, reliable hardworking woman. I cooked professionally, worked as an office manager, records specialist, and facilities manager. I am secular, open-minded and self-motivated. I’m partial to the Northwest (SF-Seattle). I have resources but want to add to my/our support by working. I can’t afford an expensive co-housing unit but I make living spaces better than it was before my arrival. Please help a gal find a home.

Each month, this Cohousing Association of the US event begins with a 30 minute cohousing 101 presentation which you can view on youtube here. We then break into small groups based on topics and regions so you have a chance to connect with fellow dreamers and ask questions of cohousing experts. Small groups are different each time, which is why it’s fun to come back each month! We even offer repeat attendees the option to skip the presentation and go straight into breakouts. We hope to see you there! Click this link to register
