Got Housing? July 26, 2011 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the Mess Hall, Rogers Park

Who doesn't have housing issues? If you are a single parent, a senior, a grandparent raising children, disabled, or live paycheck to paycheck, affordable housing is a pipe dream.

We need a new approach.

The single-family, single-person, single-parent household works ok if you your children are old enough to be home alone, if your house cleans itself and if you don't mind, and can afford, junky processed food.

Living in a supportive community, where you know that your housemates (or neighbors) are trustworthy enough to look after your children, voluntarily shovel your walk, and where you trade chores – one cooks, another cleans, another fixes things, another reads to seniors, another plays or helps children with homework. All of this, and more, is imminently possible. We just need to get there.

Getting there is the purpose of gathering community by community, month in/month out, with intention, to meet others in settings where trust naturally and gradually takes root.
Come to learn more about housing alternatives such as cooperatives, cohousing, shared homes and even dormitory housing.
