Why do we have a survey?
The survey is a
research tool that is compiled, then guides us in:
1. Planning meeting locations.
2. Seeking land for future ecovillages.
3. Knowing what people seek in their own personal lives and ideal
communities.
It also adds you to our mailing list for information regarding ecovillage/cohousing in the DFW area and invitations to our meetings.
Please fill out the survey here. It is quickly done. Thank you.

Cooperative housing often starts as a few individuals braving years of meetings to get a community built. Most are never built.
When cooperative communities are developer-driven, however, ecohousing and ecovillages often do happen and might happen quickly.
The right developer can add financing, expertise, economy of scale, and determination to the mix.
