The LiveWell team provides consulting services to groups from initial start-up through to move-in.
We streamline the cohousing development process allowing the community to focus on vision and community building while we manage the details of day-to-day project management. Gary Morrison has over 20 years of development and financing experience, and Yonas Jongkind has managed cohousing developments for over eight years. We also like to work with other local project managers in each community who best meet the needs of the group – ensuring good support and a local presence. LiveWell can provide “seed funding” and assistance to help groups acquire land in the early days. LiveWell occasionally launches new cohousing communities by securing a great site and then hosting public information sessions in the community to publicize the location. We aim to be the spark to ignite new cohousing communities!
