WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 1, 1979, PAGE 19 Co-operative housing gets grant from CMHC Brian Evans, chairman East Central Ontario Deve- lopment Foundation has announced that three new co-ops under the auspices of the Foundation have recei- ved further start up funding under the Co-operative Hous- ing Program. The program; sponsored by the Federal government is designed to promote tP development of affordable family housing to moderate and low income families. Each co-operative housing development is a non-profit corporation whose share holders jointly own their project. Each project has one mortgage, onetax bill, and one insurance policy. Members each pay their share of these costs, and manage the corporation whose share holders jointly own their project. Each project has one mortgage, one tax bill, and one insu- rance policy. Members each pay their share of these costs, and manage the cor- poration themselves, con- trolling maintenance and administration costs at a level they can afford. This, plus federal grant financial assistance gives the rights of home ownership to those families who may not be able to purchase homes on the private market. Second stage start up funds of $8,000 each have been received from C.MH.C. by Valley Park Co-operative Homes of Oshawa, County Town Co-operative Homes of Whitby and Ajax Co-opera- tive Homes. This follows the initial start up money of $500 each which the co-operatives receive some weeks ago to begin organizational work. The funds will be used by the co-ops, with the guidance of the Foundation, to cover administrative costs, office space and equipment, tele- phones and typing, Founda- tion staffing and incorpora- tion proceedings, while the groups continue their search for adequate, financially feasible housing for their members. The granting of $24,000 to area co-ops indicates a com- mitment on f.he part of C.M.H.C. to the whole con- cept of social housing and in particular to the co-opera- tive program which provides affordable street level family housing to its resi- dents. Letters of support received by the Foundation and the co-ops, from local governments relfect strong municipal acceptance not only of co-operatives in gene- ral, but also of the E.C.O.D. F. and the individual projects. Each co-op has an active waiting list of involved members meeting regularily to plan their homes and the rules and by-laws which will govern them. The groups, who have hired the consul- tant services of the Founda- tion, also receive experien- ced volunteer help .from other agencies and co-opera- tive housing developments. Members of the "core groups" include such active co-opers as Ted O'Connor, of East Whitby and a member of the U.A.W. executive; Shirley Moore of Oshawa and District Social Planning Council; Shirley Moore of Oshawa ànd District Social Planning Council; Jeannette Drews of Cordova Co-op Finance Committee; and Joyce Meskey and Nancy Plourd of Father Lawlor Co-op Building Committee.
