Cohousing on PBS NewsHour

"Cohousing Communities Help Prevent Social Isolation" PBS HEALTH | February 2017 Take a sneak peek inside Denmark's Saettedammen, the first cohousing in the world, as well as Rocky Hill Cohousing in Massachusetts. In the interview, you'll hear from a Harvard Professor who's an expert on aging, as well as a full age-range of residents. You don’t get up some day in the morning and say, “You know, I think this is the day I’m going to have a community.” You know, you build a community. Read full article here (click below to watch the video) and join us in building our nearly sold-out community at an upcoming site tour, potluck or presentation.
