MAYOR SAYS NO
West Van too rich

for housing grants?

By CHARLES MAYER

THE PRECEPTION thai
there’s too much wealth in
West Van District is hamper-

ing the municipality's ability:

to get CMHC funds said
Mayor Derrick Humphreys
Monday.

CMHC will not give
money for special housing
projects on the North Shore
nor West Vancouver because

A BYLAW that will allow
the expansion of Capilano
Mall was given first reading
by: North Vancouver City
Council Monday night and
the matter sent to public
hearing on Thursday, March
21 a ;

“Expansion for the mall,
according to. city clerk E. A.
Raymond will. include ad-
_ ding more’ space’ for smaller

“stores, cake. prarking,

‘that’ -is

CMHC officials ‘‘think
West Van is too affluent.’

Humphreys’ statement
followed a plea for support
from United Way who fear
severe funding cuts for
public housing on the North
Shore once the federal gov-
ernments budget is an-
nounced.

United Way Chairwoman
Anita Dadson explained to
council that a 38-unit co-op
housing project slated for
North Van City ‘‘has been

Public hearing set for
Cap mall expansion_

Woolco so that it will face

Hanes Avenue, and making

changes to Hanes Avenue.
“It’s quite a big project,”

. Raymond said.

Raymond says the mall
plans to go ahead with the
expansion in the spring, and
why the public
meeting is being held as soon
as possible,

Bob Knight says, ‘‘Council

given low priority’’ . by
CMHC.

She added CMHC’s move
to turn off the funding tap is
based on false assumptions
that housing needs on the
North Shore for handi-
capped and low income in-
dividuals have been met.

Humphreys however said
this is not true and that even
in West Van many seniors
on limited and fixed incomes
are forced to live in illegal
suites and basements because

but we stl haven't formed
the physical plans 100 per
cent yet. Right now it’s a lit-
tle premature (to discuss
details of the expansion pro-
ject)."’

of the housing shortage in
the municipality,

Council indicated support
for United Way's campaign
to get CMHC to resume
funding levels and priortities
for affordable housing pro-
jects.
