This course will provide an overview of the development process from initial ideas to moving in to a property. We will explore the many right (and a few wrong) ways to create a new housing coop, with extra focus on the initial steps: creating a collective vision, organizing your development team, and making a roadmap. This is a two-part course that sets the foundation for the "Creating a New Co-op" series.
