Decluttering 55 Plus with Michelle Passoff explores decluttering not just physical items but also different aspects of life that may be holding people back. In this episode, Michelle discusses co-housing as an alternative living arrangement for seniors with guests Trish Becker and Diane Wiley. 

Core Principles of Co-Housing:

*Shared Space: Private homes with communal areas like dining rooms, gardens, and recreational facilities.

*Shared Stuff: Reduces personal clutter and resource waste.

*Shared Time & Values: Encourages communal decision-making, mutual support, and sustainability.

*Diversity in Co-Housing: Communities are typically diverse in beliefs, but they share values like sustainability and connectedness.

*Senior Co-Housing: A specialized model offering a community-focused alternative to traditional retirement communities. Unlike for-profit senior housing, senior co-housing is self-managed and fosters independence.

*Co-Housing vs. Retirement Communities: Co-housing emphasizes self-governance and active participation, while retirement communities are typically managed by external organizations.
