We aim for our community to be built on trust, respect, friendship and understanding rather than rules and regulations. Nevertheless, experience from other cohousing projects shows that it is helpful to have a set of policies and procedures to help our project run smoothly. We call this the Residents Handbook and unfortunately it is rather wordy! It includes:

Note: You can download the Adobe PDF reader software for free if you don't already have it.

Once we have settled in, policies may be revisited using consensual decision-making to reflect the values of the members at that time.

Please do contact us if you have any questions concerning the Handbook.
