Project A1-2007 Innovative Use of Housing Co-operative Assets

Abstract

The “Innovative Use of Housing Co-operative Assets” project consists of an examination of the use of mortgage free housing co-op assets to leverage funding or financing for further co-op housing and for other social economy purposes. The project will encompass three main phases: • a literature review; • a scan of current housing co-ops in British Columbia and Alberta currently using assets for this purpose (or are contemplating this); and • an assessment of the potential for these assets to be leveraged. These phases will be researched concurrently during the study, to take place from April 1, 2007 to March 31, 2008.
