Twin Cities Cohousing Network (TCCN) is becoming CohousingMN. Our new name is coming with a new website CohousingMN.org, but we remain a charitable not-for-profit educational organization empowering people to start their own neighborhood of caring and connection, with home ownership as its basis.
We are committed to educating Minnesotans about the exciting features of each cohousing community; communities that are “Neighborhoods Reimagined.” Our name change better reflects our larger service area, which now extends beyond Minnesota into a few counties in Wisconsin because of their close economic ties with Duluth and St. Paul.
We believe that cohousing communities help people live longer and healthier lives with shared meals and activities. In cohousing, people know they belong due to frequent interaction, and self management of their community. The carbon footprint of the entire community is lowered by sharing resources and working together collaboratively.
New generations want the connection of an intentional community while preserving the privacy of their individual home - That is the essence of cohousing.
CohousingMN will use your donation to spread the word across Minnesota about this innovation in housing. Donations will help us hold events away from the twin cities, and reach out to organizations serving greater Minnesota. As we have a board member in Duluth - we have already held picnics in Duluth.
As a self-designed and self-managed home ownership model, cohousing is uniquely situated to amplify generational wealth-building for communities that historically have been left out while battling the isolation so common in today's society.
We educate the public and housing professionals by providing
-Presentations by national leaders in cohousing
-Organizing study groups
-Conducting networking events
-Distributing our Newsletter on cohousing developments in MN and nationally
