Legal Definitions - coho

coho

Coho has two meanings:

1. It is a slang term for cohousing, which is a type of housing scheme where people have their own homes or units but share common areas and property of some form. This means that people who live in cohousing communities can share things like gardens, kitchens, and laundry facilities. They can also work together to make decisions about how their community is run.
2. It is also a species of salmon. Some types of coho salmon are endangered and protected species.
