SUMMARY:Victoria Urban Village – Virtual Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Wondering about the affordability of cohousing – for you or for others? As we take steps to planning our future\, Victoria Urban Village’s Core Group is researching out-of-the-box solutions communities have used to extend the cohousing opportunity to folks with more moderate budgets. \nThis will not be the definitive deep-dive required for decision making but rather an exploration and discussion of some alternate visions\, and hopefully some brainstorming about what might work for us in Victoria. \nLet’s get to know each other better while discussing this important topic. Bring your open mind\, creativity\, and willingness to share. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your input. \nSaturday\, April 17\, 2021 10:30am-12:00pm PST Via Zoom\nTo attend\, please send an RSVP with ‘April 17′ in the subject line to:\nvictoriaurbanvillage@gmail.com \nA link to the zoom meeting will be sent to you a day before the meeting.
