Amy McKenna on Co-Homeownership: Turning Shared Dreams into Reality
Building homes—and futures—together through creativity and collaboration.
EVENT ALERT
There’s something intoxicating about the idea of building a life together — not just in love, but in bricks, boards, and shared dreams. At Evergreen Hearts Foundation’s ConnectEd event, housing innovator Amy McKenna takes that idea from fantasy to blueprint. Her talk, “Co-Homeownership,” explores how groups of friends, partners, and chosen families are reimagining what it means to own a home — and a future — together.
In a world where loneliness is rising and housing prices soar, McKenna’s vision is both revolutionary and refreshingly human. She invites us to imagine homes designed not for isolation, but for collaboration — where shared kitchens become creative studios, gardens grow from collective care, and living rooms turn into living laboratories for trust, growth, and joy.
The secret, she says, isn’t just about money or mortgages. It’s about mindset. Co-homeownership works when people bring creativity, communication, and a sense of play to the process. It’s about designing life as a partnership — whether between friends who want to age gracefully together, couples expanding their constellation of care, or families of choice determined to build stability on their own terms.
Amy’s message is a perfect reflection of the EHF philosophy: that connection is something you create. Not just emotionally, but structurally — in the way you live, love, and build together.
At ConnectEd, her talk is more than financial advice. It’s an invitation — to dream, to collaborate, and to craft a home that feels like belonging.
Because the real foundation of every great home isn’t wood or stone. It’s the people who choose to build it — together. Join us at ConnectEd to hear Amy McKenna and other visionary speakers redefining what connection can look like in every corner of our lives.
