Coffee, Chai, Cocoa and a Chat

An evening for disabled adults, family members, caregivers, and others to discuss creating intentional shared living opportunities that support greater independence. This will be a chance to exchange ideas, discuss challenges, build relationships, and explore whether future shared living opportunities may grow naturally from those connections. Potential Discussion Topics:

• Challenges of finding appropriate semi-independent housing • Exploring the creation of affordable, cooperative households that combine companionship and independence • Balancing privacy, independence, and mutual support • Finding compatible housemates • Integrating caregivers into shared homes • Benefits of intentional shared living for everyone involved
