What is Cohousing?
Cohousing is community that is designed to foster connection. Physical spaces allow neighbors to easily interact with others just outside private homes. Common areas, including a community kitchen, dining space and gardens bring people together. Collaborative decision-making builds relationships.

Front Porch Cohousing is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that creates safe and sustainable housing opportunities for people with different intellectual abilities. Since 2021, FPC has been dedicated to providing housing options for those who want to live in a neuro-inclusive environment. People who live in an FPC community will benefit from innovative smart-home technologies that provide safety and security, social and recreational activities, including shared meals, opportunities for neighbor interaction, and inclusion based on proven universal design principles.
Cohousing reduces loneliness & isolation
Inclusion, particularly in housing, is a goal that requires intentional efforts. It involves education, advocacy, and awareness. It begins with an open-minded approach and a willingness to learn from the unique stories of individuals. Recognizing and respecting our differences is crucial. Inclusion is a significant aspect of life that continues to gain importance. Unfortunately, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities often face exclusion from activities or events due to not fitting societal norms or a lack of understanding. However, embracing inclusion is not only beneficial for those with disabilities but also for the benefit of society. By actively listening and being inclusive, we can broaden our perspectives & open ourselves up to new experiences.
