Our Vision & Mission

Vision: 

We are a welcoming community, caring about each other and living lighter on the planet.

Mission Statement:

​Our mission is to create an intentional and sustainable community by building a sense of belonging and fostering an atmosphere of trust and respect. We benefit from the sharing of time, tools, and responsibilities while valuing individual and family privacy.

"In Cohousing Neighborhoods...

We build relationships with our neighbors by working together on practical matters, whether that is a landscape workday or making dinner. As we work together, we build trust. Over time, we find our own edges softening, gaining greater empathy for each other, and this empathy accompanies us in the rest of our lives, opening our hearts to others. Living in community teaches us to listen more carefully to what others have to share. When our communities are truly successful, they give us energy and support to engage actively in the larger civil society to empathetically and respectfully address the challenges of the human condition."

​- Katie McCamant of CoHousing Solutions
