Nonprofit housing
• from page 1
on behalf of the village. "It's more expen- .
sive, but it's the easiest route to go" as
they have the necessary experience with
non-profit housing projects.
Reeve Herb Clark said the village would
request the association to carry through on
the project on behalf of the vilalge.
Other findings from the 1985 housing
study, says Mr. Cowan, was the population
of Lucknow was stable and was aging very
quickly. The housing stock was aging as
well.
"We do not anticipate housing is going to
change greatly over the next five years,"
he said.
The housing officials both recommended
that the village look into other ministry
sponsored housing programs, such as the
Ontario Home Renewal Program which
aids in the rehabilitation of exisiting hous-
ing stock and the Convert -to -Rent Pro-
gram which offers homeowners or store
owners an incentive to renovate spare
rooms in their houses into rental space.
