Introduction to my Campaign

Posted on Help Alice Keep Her Home by Alice Green · October 18, 2016 1:18 PM

Fall, 2016 Update: We were surprised and delighted by the response we got to this, over 10,000 signatures in one weekend! It got the government's attention, and we ended up going to DC and meeting with HUD staff and shifting FHA policy. But since differences in city and federal guidelines around our unique community are keeping us from pursuing this path (for now), and I'd rather do this in a way that benefits my friends and neighbors rather than a big commercial bank, I'm making do with what I have for now, and continuing to work, and with my neighbor Raines and others we're researching and co-creating  community alternatives, like a Revolving Loan Fund and/or Permanent Real Estate Coop, perhaps in partnership with a Land Trust and Community Loan Fund. Read the recent articles in this section for more.

Heroic Futures

Posted on Help Alice Keep Her Home by Alice Green · October 06, 2016 3:08 PM · 1 reaction

A compelling mystery was solved as I attended a three evening talk, Heroic Futures, by futurist Alex Steffen, a TED Fellow who co-created the WorldChanging movement and book. As all of us more fully realize climate change, reversing it depends on all of us changing. The speaker gave us a way to realize hope: co-creating a culture of innovation as the Harlem Renaissance and Paris of the 1920’s did. It is developed by stories.

Home is where it all begins...

You've probably heard about the concept of "Aging In Place," adapting homes to support people being able to stay there as they age. We think that's great, but not nearly enough. We have witnessed the power of "Aging In Community" making a difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors, and want to spread it to the world, through this website, organizing campaigns and books.

Audacious AgingWe now publish a directory of Village Networks (based on the Beacon Hill Village model) that are up and running. We are adding Senior Cohousing and other intergenerational cohousing neighborhoods, EcoVillages, and intentional communities, in partnership with nonprofit groups leading the movement.

The Original Petition to HUD

Posted on Help Alice Keep Her Home by Alice Green · April 15, 2014 3:35 PM

My name is Alice Green and I'm 72 years old. For more than 20 years, I've lived in a wonderful cohousing condominium community in Berkeley, California.

(This was the kickoff of our campaign with PEERS through Change.org to help Alice back in April, 2014. We have since pursued alternative creative approaches engaging directly with neighbors and potential lenders - see the main Help-Alice section for our current approach. We're keeping this here just for the sake of history, even though it no longer reflects our approach)
