Tivoli Housing Co-op


Once the sale of the Tivoli Housing Co-op was complete in 2014, the Common Fire Foundation shifted its focus dramatically, limiting itself to providing basic support for the Beacon Co-Housing community.  The Foundation previously had a much more expansive vision of helping to support the creation of numerous intentional communities nationwide that shared our values related to communities as a foundation for personal and collective transformation.  The information on this page represents our PREVIOUS more expansive vision and is provided here in the hopes that it may help to support or inspire other people’s efforts in this field.

Here's your chance to live in a beautiful home,

With other people who believe in you

And who share your dream of making a difference in the Hudson Valley and beyond...

The Common Fire Housing Co-op is located in Tivoli, NY, right between Hudson and Kingston, about 25 minutes from each, near Bard College. Rooms run between $550-$750 which includes the bulk of your heating, hot water and utilities costs, and is below average for the area.

The co-op provides a beautiful and inspiring home for a diverse group of people who in one way or another are committed to making a difference in the world -- to help us each be that much more effective and fulfilled in our lives and work. The co-op has generated tremendous media interest because the building was constructed to be very environmentally-responsible, and was certified "Greenest Building in the Eastern US". Even if you’ve never heard of housing co-ops before, this could be a wonderful opportunity for you.

If you might be interested in living in the co-op, or just coming by to check it out, please review this website before contacting us so you can be sure you know what you're signing up for! After that, definitely please give us a call or write to learn more (including if any rooms are open or when one might open up) or to arrange to visit:
