Community for the Health of It was my first time at a cohousing conference. After a few days of immersive conversations, passionate speeches, and informative tours, I am inspired to bring cohousing (and community oriented housing in its many forms) to a wider population. The conference reinforced the notion that cohousing has so much to offer, however most people who would benefit from living in cohousing don’t have access to these communities. As a member of the NextGen Initiative, it is our responsibility to eliminate as many of the barriers to entry as possible. The interviews that NextGen conducted at the conference strengthened my resolve to lend my voice to the building wave of momentum to make cohousing accessible to everyone.
