OUR SERVICES
Ottawa Cohousing is essentially
a Matchmaking service!
We gather people interested in cohousing:
future residents, investors, developers, builders, lawyers, financial advisors, real estate agents and more.
Aspiring cohousers are interviewed, then matched into a group with other aspiring cohousers. Groups are then paired up with developers or builders. Development land is secured for each group. Tools and resources are provided to smooth the path to success.
The physical structure of a cohousing community is not all that's needed to make a thriving community. Healthy dynamics and appropriate governance of each group is essential, so Ottawa Cohousing leads our groups through tailored learning sessions: during the early days of group formation, while making the big development decisions, and then after move-in, as needed, to continue to support communities.
