Cohousing and Beyond: Sacramento Summit, Nov 2nd 2025

Welcome to The Cohousing Institute

We provide education and empowerment to support more (and better!) cohousing.

Building and sustaining cohousing communities can be hard. We’re here to help.

The Cohousing Institute is the learning platform for The Cohousing Association of the United States. On this platform you’ll find webinars, online trainings and more. Our live and on-demand programming is designed to support people at all stages of their journey into cohousing. We serve the cohousing curious, explorers, new and veteran residents, advocates, and cohousing professionals.
