First, we gather people together who are interested in cohousing
Once a group of interested cohousers emerge in a specific location, Cohousing PNW supports the group by securing a site and taking on the challenging task of membership building

Then we gather the dream team
Once a group is launched, seasoned professional partners will come onboard to ensure the community is expertly developed.

And you focus on building the community relationships
Collaborative partnerships give cohousing groups the freedom to focus on what’s most important - the building of relationships.
At Cohousing PNW, we understand the unique challenges of building a multi-family, multi-million dollar project driven by a shared community vision and all its complexities. Successful communities must navigate:
Defining their community vision and values
Recruiting and retaining future neighbors with shared values
Setting up a legal, financial, and governance structure
Developing and ensuring a healthy community culture
Finding and securing land
Navigating the zoning and permitting process
Finding and working with the right architect, developer and general contractor to design and build the physical structures of the community
Securing a construction loan
And most importantly, through all this, the community must have all the organizational and interpersonal structure to ensure they will be thriving and sustainable.
