BOOK EVENT
Senior Cohousing — A New Option
The fastest growing segment of the housing industry is 50+ with over 10,000 Americans turning 50 every single day. This growing population of baby boomers seeks solutions that have more to do with continuing a vibrant, active life than settling in for the duration.

Charles Durrett’s new book, The Senior Cohousing Handbook is a comprehensive Senior Cohousing guide to joining or creating a cohousing community. A leading cohousing architect, he has won numerous awards, including the United Nations World Habitat Award and the Best of 50+ Housing Award (National Home Builders Assoc. 2008). Durrett is credited with coining the term ‘cohousing’ and together with wife and professional partner, Kathryn McCamant, introduced cohousing projects to America.

Come hear this internationally recognized speaker discuss cohousing concepts and key ideas in Senior Cohousing Handbook.

Advance Praise for Charles Durrett’s Senior Cohousing Handbook
This book is about building community — community and small scale problem solving. It is about seniors reaching their potential in healthy environments —environments where seniors are not cast adrift to fend for themselves. This book makes it possible for seniors to get together and make a neighborhood for themselves that makes perfect sense to them.
— Eric Utne, co-founder of the Utne Reader
