How affordable is life in an intentional community? How inclusive of people of different means and identities? The answers are as varied as communities themselves. Communities #211 (Summer 2026), Affordability and Inclusivity, explores how groups are making communal life more accessible—or not—through a wide range of strategies, financial structures, governing philosophies, and opportunities, including cooperative housing, work trade, small-footprint living, income-sharing, reclaiming connection to the land, and more. Authors describe challenges as well as success stories, sharing resources to help communitarians and community-seekers alike.
