The Community Finders Story
CommunityFinders is the online support network for those committed to finding their community.
You (human) aren’t designed to live in isolation.
Unfortunately, 60% of American adults report feeling lonely on a regular basis. Loneliness negatively impacts our mental wellbeing as well as our sense of belonging and purpose.
Meanwhile, there are hundreds of intentional communities with openings for new residents right now. Loneliness doesn’t have to be the only choice.
We’re on a mission to solve the affordable housing crisis, mitigate climate change, and put an end to loneliness — all through community living.
You and your family can thrive in a values-based residential community, such as an ecovillage, agrihood, housing coop, tiny house village, and more. By sharing resources within communities, we all can enjoy more affordable and far more sustainable lifestyles than what mainstream housing options can provide.
An intentional community is a group of people who choose to live together on the basis of explicit common values. They come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and levels of sharing — so it’s possible to find one that fits your lifestyle.
Intentional communities are not cults, and they aren’t quite HOAs either.
Even if you want to start a community yourself, it’s best to gain experience by spending time in one or more existing communities, of which there are hundreds, if not thousands in most corners of the world.
Whether you are looking for a unique travel experience, educational opportunity, or your forever home — we are here to support you.
