I tried community in NYC, and I had a good experience, so I tried to find another one but didn't really connect well with the house. I'd like to be a part of the community for some support.

+===== Agenda Item 1 =====
+(David M and Jessi) Heart Meeting with David M
+David: Let's start with NASCO--they're our big organization. NASCO Properties is the organization that actually owns the properties that are Sasona and La Reunion, which make up CHEA. Sasona and La Re are both a 501c3 under CHEA. Part of this is a structure as a necessity, and also out of support. 2002 NP bought Sasona's property. 2014 they were able to buy LaRe. NASCO Properties is a co-op of coops. We send representatives to them and they deal with the management side of things.
+Sidney: does NASCO have something where we can see a map of where the properties are?
+Ruth: yes it's out of date
+David M: NASCO is mainly focused on education--there's a conference with training. we're just members of NASCO, but NP is actually who owns the properties. it's approx $10M in assets.
+Sidney: how unique is NASCO?
+David M: there's other co-op organizations, like College Houses--they own their own building. there are other national co-op orgs but they're structured differently. a lot of these coops were created for women to band together to support them in going to college.
+Ruth: that's the northeast, but here it's about a country and town
+Sidney: do we have relationships with any coops outside the US?
+Ruth: in Canada. Canada gets a lot more support from their government
+Caleb: i'm curious about the relationship has been between CHEA and NASCO
+Ruth: we were CHEA for a long time, but at some point we had a baby and LaRe came about.
