\"\"<\/a>New meetup group aims to create affordable co-housing in Western Mass.<\/p>\n

The co-housing concept appeals to many people who are seeking a more community-oriented and earth-friendly way of life. However, existing co-housing communities in western Mass. are quite expensive to buy into, leaving out anyone who has not already achieved substantial capital as a homeowner – or anyone seeking to scale down their ‘economic footprint’ as they look towards retirement or just a simpler lifestyle. This group is for anyone who would like to be part of creating a more affordable alternative – possibly by buying and converting an existing apartment building or large house. It would include the same features as other co-housing communities: Shared space for common activities, shared tools and resources, mutual support and cooperation. <\/p>\n

If this interests you, please visit the meetup site at http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/Towards-Affordable-Co-housing-in-Western-Mass. To join the group, you’ll need to sign up for a (free) Meetup account, if you don’t already have one – just follow the ‘Join us’ link on the group site. Hope to see you there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
