| dc.description | The purpose of the study is to provide well researched documentation on successes and potential in leveraging housing co-op assets for social enterprise purposes. We anticipate that these assets represent a significant source of potential development financing for further co-op housing development and social economy purposes not only in B.C. and Alberta but throughout Canada. The study will also assess the potential for applying these assets for social enterprise purposes. The use of these assets would help alleviate the difficulties currently experienced in the social economy of a) securing social enterprise venture capital and/or b) the dependence on government programs for social enterprise start-ups. This project forms part of the goals of BALTA and SERC-1 to map the extent, scope, impact and characteristics of human services and affordable housing social enterprise activity in the region and to examine successful innovations in other settings that would be relevant here. The project will also explore key issues, opportunities and constraints of this potential source of social enterprise development financing. | en |
| dc.description.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. | en |
