7:15pm - Donna Chartier & Lynn Dolan on Co-Living in Real Estate

At its core, co-living is simply people sharing a home in a way that makes life more affordable, connected, and supportive. Think private bedrooms with shared common spaces — a setup that saves money, builds community, and helps people feel less alone.

With housing costs through the roof, co-living is one way we can ease the pressure. It's not just about investing in properties — it's about creating homes where people can actually live well without breaking the bank.
