I am fixing out my family house with the goal of turning it into a collective household of friends and good people! It is a large house that sits on acreage, near a forested park, on the outskirts of beautiful Gresham.
Currently, the house is in transition as I clean the belongings of former residents out and then make some repairs/upgrades on the actual house
My goal is to create long-term affordable housing for a community of good people. I want to create a household that is based on kindness, mutual aid, and community. I firmly believe we are on this planet to be good to each other, kind to nature, and to do the best we can to make the world better. Things are getting rougher in the world, and I believe we humans need each other more than ever.
Right now, I can offer a variety of possible things:
(1) short term housing at reduced rates while I fix the house up for a period of 1-2 months. potentially open to van-dwellers for this timeframe, also
(2) people who want to stay longer, if the dynamic is a good fit, to remain living in the house. following the transition period, rents will go up in order to make housing here sustainable.
About me. I am a friendly person and I am a long-time activist, with a history of both environmental and social justice organizing. I have lived in communes, ecovillages, co-ops, and collective houses of every kind. I love nature and hobbies that relate to it - hiking, botany, gardening, skiing, kayaking. Enjoy cooking, art, and spending nice times with housemates, as time allows.
I am interested in finding the right people to make a nice, stable, safe home for everybody.
