Why Join the Waitlist?
We're launching The Lilypad Initiative in Tampa with a carefully curated community of verified Hosts.
Right now, we're recruiting our first 20 Founding Hosts - women with spare rooms who are committed to safe, supportive co-housing. We're vetting every home, conducting virtual tours, and ensuring each space meets our safety and compatibility standards.
JOIN THE WAITLIST NOW and you'll be first in line when we start matching this summer (June 2026).
Think of this as your landing pad.
You have options. Our goal is to match women wisely,
Real women. Real lives.
MEET DEBBIE, 32, SINGLE MOM
Debbie works full-time as a nurse and parents a daughter solo. She's spending $1,900/month on a cramped two-bedroom apartment. After rent, childcare, and groceries, there's almost nothing left. She's exhausted, stressed, and has no backup when her kids are sick or when she needs a break.
She's not living. She's surviving.
Traditional co-housing sounds amazing: shared childcare, communal meals, built-in support. But she can't move to an intentional community three hours away. Her daughter is in school here. Her job is here. Her mom helps with pickups on Thursdays.
What if Debbie could cut her rent in half, finally start saving money, and have a trustworthy housemate who could watch her daughter for 30 minutes while she runs to the pharmacy? What if she could catch her breath, build an emergency fund, and eventually move into her own place, or decide she loves the co-housing arrangement and stay?
What if co-housing gave her room to grow?
MEET MAYA, 27, YOUNG PROFESSIONAL
Maya just started her career in marketing. She's making decent money, but after student loans and rent ($1,450 for a studio), there's nothing left for savings or fun. She's lonely. Her college friends have scattered. She works from home three days a week and sometimes doesn't speak to another human until Thursday.
She wants to save for a down payment someday. She wants community. She wants to actually enjoy her twenties instead of just surviving them.
What if Maya could live in a beautiful home in South Tampa for half the price, save $10,000 in a year, and actually have someone to talk to at the end of the day? What if co-housing helped her build the foundation for everything she wants next?
What if this was the launchpad, not the destination?
MEET MARIA, 42, RECENTLY DIVORCED
Maria is starting over. After 15 years of marriage, she's suddenly living alone for the first time in her adult life. She's paying $1,600/month for a one-bedroom apartment that feels sad and empty. Half her income goes to rent.
She eats dinner in front of the TV most nights and wonders if this is really what "independence" is supposed to feel like.
She doesn't have the savings to buy a place. She doesn't have $300K for a traditional co-housing community. She needs a safe place to land while she figures out what's next.
What if Maria could live with another woman who's been through similar life transitions? Someone to share meals with when she wants company, but with her own space when she needs to process? What if she could save $800/month, rebuild her savings, heal, and eventually choose her next move from a place of strength instead of desperation?
What if co-housing gave her time to transform?
