About the Community

What we do

Compersia is an intentional community located in the heart of Washington, DC. More than just a group house(s), we are founded on a deep commitment to sharing our labor, resources, and lives – together we can achieve more than any of us could individually. This manifests in many different ways; as a community we are fully income-sharing, with a single joint bank account. We reject the rigid market system and value all community-oriented labor equally, whether it’s working a salaried job, doing housework, freelancing, or community organizing. We are dedicated to the principles of inclusion, feminism, anti-racism, and anti-discrimination. We strive to be egalitarian in all respects, and make decisions transparently and by consensus. We place high value on open, respectful, genuine communication, and desire a healthy, productive, and sustainable world for all people regardless of circumstance or nationality. If you resonate with these ideas then we’d love to hear from you. Our world is your world … let’s join forces!

Our Mission

We are an egalitarian, income-sharing, intentional community located in the District of Columbia.
