THREE PARTNERS
ONE COMMUNITY
Community Land Trust is a non-profit developer and housing provider. They will operate 154 units as a housing co-op and mixed income community, offering homes at shelter, income-based, and low-end-of market rates.
Since 1979, QMUNITY has been a resource centre providing essential programs and services to 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and allies. They will operate a 2SLGBTQIA+ in the first two floors of the building. The LGBTQ2+ centre will be the new replacement and expanded home of QMUNITY, which is currently located in a small, outdated space two blocks west on Bute Street.
McLaren Housing Society provides housing and support services for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS. They will operate 31 homes in support of this community.
WHAT IS A HOUSING CO-OP?
A housing co-op is an organization incorporated under the Cooperative Association Act that provides housing to its members. Members purchase a share to join (similar to a damage deposit) and pay a monthly housing charge (similar to rent), but unlike being a renter, members have a voice in co-op governance.
The Community Land Trust forms a trusted partnership with their co-op communities. Members still have a say in governance and community building, while the CLT oversees property management, debt financing, asset management and long-term financial stability. This model preserves and maintains the property for members, ensuring long-term viability and building trust for governments and other funders.
