Our urban location is ideal, convenient to shopping, good public schools, universities, public transportation, and bike lanes into Boston.\n\nWe come to this community as individuals with our own aspirations, values, and experiences. At the same time we recognize that the art of successful life in a cooperative community is dependent upon building healthy capacities for compromise. We seek to live in community, learning from each other, respecting our differences and resolving the inevitable conflicts that will arise from these differences. Kindness, compassion, and respect are the foundation for our interactions. We are committed to engaging in honest, direct, and respectful communication with each other.\n\nMany of our members have been here for our history, since 1973, with new members bringing energy and commitment along the way. We\u2019ve raised children together and now most of us are retired, enjoying grandchildren, family visits, travel and social occasions, as well as the cultural life of the city. \n\nWe share celebrations and support one another through losses. We gather for community events in our common room as well as our beautiful yard and gardens. We have off-street parking for one car per household. Many people stop on their walk to the \u201cT\u201d to smell our roses or choose a book from the Little Free Library.\n\nMembers own the building and land cooperatively, each household owning shares based on square footage. Shareholders rotate terms serving on the Board of Directors. We work together on committees and projects, including planning, maintenance, gardening, and social events. In our monthly meetings, we share perspectives and concerns, and make decisions by consensus.","year_founded":null,"updated_at":null,"mode":null,"dccid":null,"responded_at":null,"email":null,"response":null,"physical_address2":null,"physical_address1":null,"mailing_city":null,"email_response_token":null,"created_at":null,"physical_zip":null,"physical_state":"Massachusetts","name":"Common Place Cooperative, Inc.","fax":null,"physical_county":null,"physical_city":"Cambridge","oid":"fe854277-346a-4795-89ec-58bdb59855be","mailing_zip":null,"grouping":null,"group":null,"democratic":null},{"physical_country":"United States","phone":null,"mailing_county":null,"mailing_country":null,"mailing_address2":null,"mailing_address1":null,"dso":"Fellowship for Intentional Community","dso_update":"fresh","access_rule_id":1,"primary_location_id":23193,"mailing_state":null,"latitude":29.965734,"longitude":-90.024731,"website":null,"source_grouping":null,"import_notice_sent_at":null,"id":22757,"description":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003EMission:\u003C/b\u003E Our mission is to develop a residential housing alternative designed to maximize interaction between neighbors.

Tucked between Claiborne and St. Claude along the Industrial Canal, this area within the Lower Ninth Ward is well-suited for a pocket community. \n\nThe Lower Ninth Ward has a history of strong community roots. We are inspired by the legacy of neighborhood participation and want to resurrect the high-functioning neighborhood traditional to this area to serve the mental, emotional, and physical health of the community. We feel that isolation in a community can be detrimental to its people, and our aim is to rebuild the neighborhood fabric that offers activities, shared amenities, and friendly environment to elevate the benefits to all of our neighbors. We hope that our development leads to other development in the area.  While the community still has limited access to groceries, schools, and health care we hope to be an impetus for additional, positive investment.","year_founded":null,"updated_at":null,"mode":null,"dccid":null,"responded_at":null,"email":null,"response":null,"physical_address2":null,"physical_address1":"1308 Jourdan Ave","mailing_city":null,"email_response_token":null,"created_at":null,"physical_zip":"70117","physical_state":"Louisiana","name":"Jourdan Valley","fax":null,"physical_county":null,"physical_city":"New Orleans","oid":"f07521e3-aaee-4937-8b6a-af44c5925a06","mailing_zip":null,"grouping":null,"group":null,"democratic":null}]
