Becoming a Member
Deciding to live together is a big decision that doesn't happen instantaneously. Over time, we get to know each other, learn how to work together, and build trust. (View the Membership Application procedure for becoming a member.)

We suggest that you start by learning about cohousing. The CoHousing, A Contemporary Approach to Housing Ourselves (Ten Speed Press, 1994), by McCamant & Durrett is one good resource. Talking to other people in CoHo can also be useful. When you contact us about your interest in CoHo, you will be hooked up with a buddy. This person is available to discuss any questions or concerns you may have, and will help familiarize you with how we organize meetings and make decisions.

CoHo Membership
This avenue is appropriate for those individuals planning to purchase and live in a cohousing home and be a full, active part of CoHo. Find out more about Member Rights and Responsibilities and see the Membership Agreement.

Friends of CoHo
This avenue is for folks considering becoming a member in the future or who want to support and be a part of the community but for various reasons will not be living in CoHo. Click on the Friend of CoHo Agreement to find out more.
