How could I understand the idea of cohousing mentioned in the Community Housing Movement?

With pleasure!

Okay, many thanks!

The idea of cohousing originates in Denmark when a group of dual families was searching for better childcare and a way to share evening meal preparation. Later, cohousing or living communities have grown and spread out to other European countries and North American countries. They typically range from 10 to 35 households, some of them even emphasize a multi-generational mix of singles, couples, families with children, and elders. And, taking advantage of the communal area in the cohousing units, tenants get to build a strong relationship with one another, hence a network of mutual / community support, which in turn increases their living quality.
