Find out about whether 2021 Boulevard Cohousing in Olympia might be right for you.
We’re looking at building a cohousing community in Olympia to serve the needs of at least some individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (such as autism or other forms of neurodivergence).

Together the resident-owners would also share ownership and use of a common house with a community dining room, kitchen and other shared amenities to be determined by the group. We seek to attract a mixed group that includes
