CoHousing Initiative in Trento
Summary
Trento has commenced a cohousing initiative engaging different actors in the project including the research center (FBK), the community of the valleys and the Trentino housing institute which assisted in finding funds via the EU, identifying suitable properties (from the city of Trento), and supporting the “community of co-housers” through simplified administrative procedures.
The SAD cooperation designed and implemented the current cohousing projects
Cohousing is a collaborative way of living and has advantages for both the individuals directly involved and collectively, producing positive impacts on the society and the territory in which we live. Let’s talk about it, let’s collaborate to spread these practices, in particular among older citizens and public administrations.
