DVD for developers and building professionals |
Mid Atlantic Cohousing has received a $60,000 grant to produce a DVD and an accompanying handbook to encourage developers, building professionals, and those in the financial industry to add cohousing to their housing mix. The DVD showcases three developers:
|
| The developers explain in detail their experiences in bringing cohousing to market. The DVD covers financing, budgeting, marketing, sales, and the role green building plays in cohousing. The handbook contains even more detailed information that supports the interviews in the DVD. |
| The DVD has had a successful three-city launch on Wed. April 23 in Washington, DC, Boulder, CO, and Oakland, CA. Under the auspices of our grant, it will be made available to professionals in the building trades on a first come, first served basis. Copies will be available in June. Reserve your copy now by sending an email to DVD@MidAtlanticCohousing.org. |
| In the near future, the DVD will be made available to the general public at a low fee. It is an invaluable resource for groups wishing to partner with a developer. Please check back for the release date. |

About Cohousing |
|
Cohousing offers a return to smaller, safer neighborhoods where people know each other. While each home is self sufficient and has a complete kitchen, resident-cooked dinners are available in the "common house" for those who choose to participate. First established in Denmark, cohousing has become popular in the USA. Our neighborhoods are designed, planned, and managed with a high degree of resident participation. Residents include a mix of singles, couples, families, and elders. Cohousing projects do not promote any ideology. |
