This is Cohousing | Ep 16 | Cohousing in the UK: Inspiration & Celebration with Owen Jarvis

<p>How do you grow a cohousing movement, and what does it take to make it a normal housing choice? Charles Durrett talks with Owen Jarvis, director of the UK Cohousing Network and co-founder of the Community Led Housing Growth Lab, ahead of Chuck&#39;s upcoming UK tour through Lancaster, Manchester, Bristol, Oxford, and London.</p><p>They explore how cohousing has grown in Britain since its first community opened in 2003, and what needs to change for a post-Brexit, post-financial-crash housing landscape. Along the way, they talk about a proposed London School of Economics study on how much senior cohousing could save government, the million-dollar fire truck a Nevada County community didn&#39;t have to buy, and why UK landowners and developers are now approaching cohousing groups rather than the other way around.</p><p>Owen shares how Housing 21 is bringing cohousing to underserved communities through &quot;community coaching,&quot; and why the UK&#39;s new commonhold law could open the door for hundreds of thousands of people to consider cohousing. Chuck reflects on a study of 80,000 Copenhagen seniors, most of whom chose senior cohousing over every other option, and a Danish community whose mission is to have as much fun in their second 50 years as in their first.</p><p><br></p><p>#Cohousing #SeniorCohousing #Community #Belonging #Loneliness #AgingWell #IntentionalCommunity</p><p>For more info visit ⁠<a href="www.cohousingco.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.cohousingco.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>⁠ or <a href="https://linktr.ee/CohousingCo" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/CohousingCo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/cohousing/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/cohousingco_01/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/cohousingco" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@charlesdurrett9954" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://x.com/CohousingCo_01" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a></p></li></ul><p><em>Bossa Antigua</em> Kevin MacLeod (i
