Developing group living homes

I believe that we can effectively address our thorniest challenges – housing and loneliness – by socializing frequently to nurture responsive, connected communities. This approach is promising and, given the chaos in which we are steeped, the timing is ripe.

With the ground shifting under our feet, we must consider new approaches.

I intend to form a woman-owned real estate company to develop group living homes. Living in a well-managed home with compatible housemates, who eat meals together and communicate effectively, can be a soothing balm - a game changer: the way that humans are intended to live.

One interesting aspect of living in a group home is that it is a small enough to have an impact on each other. This may sound utopian but I believe that group living homes offer the potential for meaningful connection if it is skillfully structured and managed.

I envision this as a template that could work anywhere in the country. I aspire to become an itinerant community developer working with people and organizations.

This would work anywhere and we need it everywhere.

This is not rocket science. We can do this. It will work.
