A $2.6. million
cooperative scheme in
North Van District's
Indian River region got
wary reaction from
council Monday —

since the

P

development proposal:
involved municipal
lands.

Catherine Hembling,
spokesman for the Indian
River housing cooperative
group, sought council's
endorsement to consider
negotiating with the co-op
delegation for release of two
pieces of municipal property
in the Indian River area.

As outlined by Hembling,
the group is seeking to
develop 30 residential
housing units in the Seymour
neighborhood on
titled Lot 16 and Lot 32.

“We're asking council to
respond in the form of a
conditional approval to
negotiate the lease or
purchase of these two sites,”
said Hembling.

Co-op housing is a non-
profit enterprise (and a fast-
growing alternative to
unaffordable housing) in
which groups band’ together.
and form an association that
jointly constructs housing.
No co-op member owns an
individual unity but instead
buys a share in the entire
property.

Once a coop housing
group is formed, it becomes
cligible for financial
assistance from the non-
profit program of = the
Canada Mortgage = and
Housing Corporation.
