Bowers is an intentional community located in Hyde Park, on Chicago's south side, affiliated with North American Students of Cooperation (NASCO) and operated by the not-for-profit Qumbya housing. With just over 20 members, Bowers House is the largest of the three Qumbya co-ops.
House members take turns cooking everyone dinner. Meals, meetings, parties and activities all help to foster community. In addition each member is responsible for a chore and for attending house meetings regularly.
Bowers is home to a constantly changing population. Roughly half are students at one of three institutions: Columbia College, the Art Institute of Chicago or the University of Chicago.
