This is my first hide in a great area to walk in during the summer. The cache is located between tow diffrent types of houseing. The King George Court a regular appartment block, and the Bluestem Housing Co-Operative. Both are exemplary of the lovely old appartment blocks that are scattered threw out the Fort Rouge area. I love the Idea of Co-Operative housing.
Housing co‑operatives provide not-for-profit housing for their members. The members do not own equity in their housing. If they move, their home is returned to the co‑op, to be offered to another individual or family who needs an affordable home.
Across Canada there are over 2,100 non-profit housing co‑ops.Makeing homes for about a quarter of a million people in over 90,000 households. Housing co‑operatives exist in every province and territory.
Some co‑op households pay a reduced monthly rent geared to their income. Because co‑ops charge their members only enough to cover costs, repairs, and reserves, they can offer housing that is much more affordable than average private sector rental costs.Co‑op housing also offers security. Co‑ops are controlled by their members who have a vote in decisions about their housing. There is no outside landlord.
