THE CO-OPERATIVE HOUSING OPTION
DATES: Tues., Dec.1
TIME: 7:30 p.m.
PLACE: Houston Sec. School
FEE: $5.00
SESSIONS: 1
Co-operative housing may offer a solution to landlord-tenant
problems, high rental costs, and high interest rates. This idea has
been tried successfully in many urban areas. Vancouver's False
Creek project is an example. In a housing co-operative the entire
membership owns the housing collectively, and each member can
have a say in its design and operation. Members do not own the individual units, but each owns a share of the total project. Each
member is both a resident and a landlord. Payments can be geared
to a specific percentage of the member's income. How do you get
started? This workshop will explore the possibilities.
