Collaborative Housing

Collaborative housing is a shared living arrangement where residents jointly own or manage a community-oriented property. Unlike traditional rentals or private ownership, it emphasizes collective decision-making, shared responsibilities, and social connection. Participants typically work together to maintain the space, develop community activities, and support one another’s needs. This model fosters a sense of belonging, reduces individual costs, and promotes sustainable, cooperative living. It can take various forms, such as cooperatives, co-housing communities, or intentional neighborhoods, aimed at creating inclusive, resilient, and mutually supportive environments.
