On this month’s episode of “A Public Affair,” we talk about the growing trend of cohousing, a collaborative form of housing designed to encourage neighborhood social interaction and community. Colorado boasts the third highest number of cohousing communities in the nation. Our own Boulder County—in Longmont, Lyons, Lafayette and the city of Boulder—is already home to six cohousing communities with two more in the works. Tune in when talk with cohousing residents Neshama Abraham, Josh Berman and Alan O’Hashi about what it’s like to live in a cohousing community, and how a sense of community can help ease the aging process.
