Every week, the CoHabitat Network introduces you to a collaborative housing project documented on the cohabitat.io database.
La Reunion is an apartment housing cooperative in North Austin, USA. It is a cooperative community that inhabits a 1960s apartment building with a courtyard garden.
Members maintain their own living units with family members or roommates, but come together for nightly meals and socializing in a community Commons.

Cooking, labor, cleaning, gardening, and administrative work are done by the residents, with leadership positions elected by the membership twice yearly. La Reunion is a diverse, dynamic community of many backgrounds and with many aspirations.
