The path to creating new cohousing communities often stalls at a critical point – financing. While there’s growing interest in cohousing across BC’s Lower Mainland, turning these dreams into reality requires significant financial resources and expertise. That’s why we’re launching the Cohousing Investment Club, based in Langley, BC.
Our approach is simple but powerful. By bringing together individuals who share a passion for cohousing, we create a pool of resources and knowledge that makes development more achievable. Each member contributes a minimum of $25,000, but more importantly, they bring their unique perspectives, skills, and experiences to our collective decision-making process.
We use sociocracy to ensure every voice is heard and all decisions benefit from our combined wisdom. Monthly meetings alternate between investment discussions and learning sessions, where we deepen our understanding of real estate development, financial structures, and community building.
What makes our club unique is its focused mission – we’re not just investing for returns, we’re investing to create more cohousing communities. Each investment decision weighs both financial viability and community impact. Whether supporting existing projects or initiating new developments, our collective approach reduces individual risk while increasing our capacity to make meaningful change in how housing is developed in our region.
Join us in this exciting venture to make cohousing more accessible in BC’s Lower Mainland.
