About the Community

What we do

The Hive is a collective with a culture of sharing and an abundant kitchen; a home that holds space for the broader community and each other as a chosen family. We are working on intentional communication, anti-oppressive practices and building resiliency.

We currently have a toddler in the house and a few rooms opening up, and are really interested in finding another family with a young kid to move in with us!

Our rent is split up based on which room people are in. We use a rent share system to adjust people’s rent based on people’s financial situation, it’s a flexible process we work out amongst ourselves. Beyond that we split utilities equally and everyone pays in $160 a month for food and other shared household items.
