JOIN US
We welcome new members and encourage anyone interested in joining CHI to read the entire web site, including all links.
- Members must be Israeli citizens who identify with our Vision Statement. Almost all of our members are bi-lingual (Hebrew and English). They range in age from 55 to 79. Many are still working—in academia, research, writing, community activism, professions and the arts.
- Cohousing enables people to enjoy the privacy of their own apartments, and also partake of community gatherings in the shared spaces, whether organized or spontaneous.
- All members take an active role in (1) creating communities that support healthy aging of people ages 50+; (2) designing and taking care of the physical site; and (3) enabling an environment conducive to the well-being of all members.
- CHI’s membership policy remains fluid and flexible. As CHI’s (and Israel’s) real estate landscape changes, so does our approach to membership. All policies and fees are approved by the entire membership.
Membership Process
After you have attended several national and local CHI events and meetings, met with several members, decided that CHI is right for you, and notified us, we will ask you to write a short Biography that includes the skills you bring to the community. The board will then send your Bio and its recommendation to all CHI members and ask for their vote on your candidacy. If approved, you can pay the required fees and become a member of CHI!
