Ottawa Cohousing

1. Are you planning to move into a new home within 2 to 5 years?

2. Do you want to live within an urban neighborhood of Ottawa, Ontario?

3. Have you considered your financial plan?

4. Can you afford a new home at market rates?

5. Are you ready to participate in a cohousing group?

​

If you answered YES to ALL these questions, read on for how to engage with Ottawa Cohousing.

.

1. Contact us to request an intake process.

2. Think about your household needs, wants and limitations.

3. We will provide our Intake Form for you and your household members to fill out. 

   • The Intake Form is also needed for those households who already have a pre-formed group.

4. We will arrange an intake interview with you, to answer any questions, before you submit the Form.

5. With the submission of the Form, we will then place you/your household onto our Intake Roster. We will provide you with a personalized report. 

   •  At this stage you will need to have a confidential Proof of Funds meeting with your mortgage advisor (for purchasing), or financial adviser (for tenants).

6. We continuously review our Roster to see what matches may work, i.e. what groups may be assembled, as clients onboard.

7. When we have identified a potential group, the selected members will be asked to attend a SEED MEETING.

8. At the Seed Meeting members will be introduced to each other, and will engage in a facilitated discussion to determine if there is enough interest and alignment to continue the process together.  A core group identified in this manner is now called an AFFINITY GROUP.
