Cohousing SF:Neighborhood Organizing for Sustainable Living

Come see what it looks like to live in cohousing neighborhoods in the East Bay:

• Visit sustainable intentional communities in the Berkeley-Oakland area.
• See how they blend privacy and community, with individual homes plus a Common House.
• Get a taste of what it's like to dine together, with regular common meals.
• Learn about each community's unique design, how it came together, and the innovative approaches to affordability, diversity, inclusion, and sustainability each embodies.
• Find out how to learn about future openings in these communities and new ones in formation in the area and beyond.
• Free and open to all; individual communities may have refreshments for sale or other opportunities to support them or their members work.

Led by East Bay Cohousing, the regional umbrella network for cooperative community living, in partnership with EBHO, the National Cohousing Association (Coho/US), the Bay Area Cooperative Housing Network, Bay Area Community Land Trust (BACLT), and more.

Note: The listed location is where the event starts, and will only be open 11 am til noon. Please do not come in except during listed hours (earlier time slots are full). Please RSVP on this page to get sent details on when and where other communities will open their doors.
