How we work

Mosaic Commons is set up as a condominium and governed by our Condo Documents [1]. All homeowners are part of our homeowner's association, Mosaic Commons Condominium Trust.

But unlike a traditional condominium, we are a cohousing community [2]. Residents and owners are therefore active participants in managing our community.

Mosaic Commons cohousing makes decisions by consensus [3] at monthly meetings, and on our community mailing list [4].

Some decisions are made by the whole group, but many are handled by one of our several teams [5], including our Board of Trustees [6].

We do a lot of our decision-making, planning and discussion online [7], in email. Don't worry, we have people who will help you out if you're not super tech-savvy.

This picture was taken during one of our design workshops, and is a great image of the group in consensus. Really, though, we usually use our colored cards [8]!
