In this interview, I have the pleasure of interviewing Karin Hoskin, an Executive Director of CoHo.Us, a non-profit dedicated to the health and expansion of cohousing. I wanted to interview Karin and understand the relationships between cohousing and coliving among other things.
This is one of my favorite interviews as we discuss the following topics.
- What is cohousing?
- What attracted her to cohousing
- How coliving and cohousing are both under the intentional housing umbrella
- Cohousing v. Coliving. What's the difference?
- If there is any rivalry between cohousing and coliving
- Culture of cohousing
- How cohousing is reacting to the coronavirus
- How cohousing is far more equipped for social distancing than coliving
- Negative stereotypes about cohousing 1) commune 2) "older white people" - Senior cohousing
