What we’re about
We are forming a core group of people interested in participating in the planning and design of a Cohousing Community in Northwest Arkansas.
The U.S. Surgeon General concluded in his 2023 Advisory that we are facing an epidemic of loneliness and social isolation.* His recommendation is that we all take steps to increase social connection. Many of us who live in Northwest Arkansas (NWA) do not know our neighbors and are part of this epidemic. We are in the process of forming a new Cohousing community in NWA to do our part in addressing this epidemic. Cohousing is designed to be a close-knit neighborhood and supports meaningful connection - one of the most effective solutions to loneliness and social isolation. Environmental sustainability is an integral aspect of the plan.
