The New Chautauqua Project provides small, interdependent, equity cooperative intentional communities within the intersection of the needs for both personal space and community belonging for members of the

homeless community, low and moderate-income groups and young adults.

We create human design-centric cooperative communities united by common passions and purpose, within a self-governing cooperative

ownership financial structure, in a sharing, local economy.

Project Eco-Villages

Named in response to the typical “Not In My Backyard” response to new development, Y!MBY stands for “YES! In My Backyard”. One of the primary barriers to the implementation of these Eco-Villages is the unfounded fear of the neighbors that will be residing in these intentional communities. Concerned citizens living near and adjacent to the projects are justifiably concerned about the presence of those who are homeless living in their neighborhoods. Considerable neighborhood education is required to allay these fears, including neighbors of other communities who now house homeless who understand their plight and are confident that the self-governing villages can actually be a wonderful addition to their neighborhood.

Project Eco-Villages

The Tiny Home Eco-Villages become more sustainable as regulatory roadblocks are removed by interdisciplinary teams of city planners and utility providers who work expeditiously under health emergency mandates to implement appropriate health, safety and welfare standards appropriate to the need to reduce homelessness. Economies of scale will also improve as many Colorado based tiny home manufacturing plants scale up to meet the increased demand for the homes.

Although a synergy of support from existing homeless and community housing providers is necessary and encouraged, as the eco-villages become more internally self-governed the need for traditional social service provider support will be minimized as residents build their resiliency and self-supportive personal responsibility and ownership skills.

Several cities nationwide have declared states of emergencies to deal with the crisis of homelessness in anticipation of the need for new solutions for housing the homeless. We are engaging Boulder’s Human Rights Commission and City Council to follow suit in Boulder. Many successful tiny home communities are sprouting up nationwide. This solution complements existing affordable housing solutions.

Project Eco-Villages

This is a conceptual rendering of an eco-village located on a parcel owned by a small Boulder faith community. Most of the essential physical ingredients of the Eco-Village are shown, including the commons, greenhouse community center, jobs and information kiosk, promenade and of course tiny homes, small dignified hermitages for individuals to live temporarily in prayer, reflection and safety.

Project Balsam Eco-Village

This is a conceptual rendering of the Balsam eco-village located on a parcel owned by the City of Boulder, on the site of the former Boulder Community Hospital. The site is west of Broadway, adjacent to North Boulder Park. The colorful campers can be located on the site during the warm summer season, intended for the occupants of the village’s tiny homes to rent their homes via an Airbnb type platform, providing them some income to help get them through tough, high energy bill winters. This will also make room for summer New Chautauqua guests who come to Boulder to enjoy our mountain summers
