Acknowledgments
The Old Grace Housing Co-op has received assistance and support as we develop our co-op housing project and work towards submitting a housing development proposal to the Manitoba Government.
We have received a Co-operative Development Grant from the MANITOBA CO-OPERATIVE ASSOCIATION and a Community Enterprise Development Grant from ASSINIBOINE CREDIT UNION . These grants have brought resources to support our development process and have paid for many incidental expenditures important to our work. Staff at Assiniboine Credit Union have been very helpful in discussions on financing models for our project.
Blair Hamilton from SEED has played an invaluable role on an ongoing bases providing us with information and analysis on co-op housing models and sharing his vast experience from the co-operative development field.
Thank you for your support and assistance !
