    ISSN 0702-7796 Page 1 OTTAWA, NOVEMBER 1977 glebe report Queen Sparkles at First Avenue Housing Co-op By Sandra Hawkins On October 20, 1977 a group of Glebe residents and would be residents came together to explore the possibility of form - ing a Glebe Non - profit Continuing Housing Co - operative. This responsible group of citizens are concerned that there be housing in the Glebe for a diversity of income groups. The Rehabilitation Housing Co- op would be based very much on the Dalhousie Housing Co - op experience which has proved to be quite successful. What is a Rehabilitation Continuing Non- Profit Housing Co- operative? A Continuing Housing Co - op is a group of people living in the community who come together and incorporate them - selves under the Provincial Non- profit Act. This is not to be confused with co- op housing where a group of people live co - operatively in one housing unit which may be rented from a private land lord. As a legal non- profit corporation the Continuing Housing Co- op is eligible for Central Mortgage and Housing assis - tance in buying and renovating housing units at below market costs. This allows that member residents of individual hous - ing units with-in the co - op pay monthly payments to co - ver only the costs of their particular unit which over a period of time is relatively lower than rising market values. A Re - hab. Co- op is one which buys deteriorating properties at a reasonable price and again with CMHC funding renovates the units to broader community standards.
