A Home In Community's mission is to increase awareness among cohousing communities and people living with physical disabilities about the mutual benefits of living in community together, and to provide information and support to make that happen. We encourage new communities to consider accessibility and visitability issues in their early planning.
OUR VISION:
All adults, whether physically disabled or not, will have the option of living in cohousing communities. This includes both physical and financial accessibility.
All communities will consider accessibility, visitability, and aging in place early in their design.
Communities-in-formation will have easy access to the information and support they need to achieve those goals.
A Home in Community is an Oregon nonprofit organization. Our Board of Directors is responsible for day-to-day operations, and our Stewardship Council oversees Board decisions and activities. All members of the Board and Stewardship Council are volunteers. Minutes from all Board and Stewardship Council meetings are available to the public upon request, along with our bylaws and all financial reports.
