The Ontario Housing Corpor- ation is prepared to start a crash program aimed at provid- ing several thousand new homes across the province by the end of this year. The province's plan, called " Home Ownership Made Easy" or "HOME" for short, provides for government purchase of raw land that would be leased lot by lot to home buyers; This would cut payments by as much as half, particularly in the larger urban areas, because buyers would only have to worry about the cost of the house along. The government would buy the land and lease it to the in- dividual homeowner or private builder for a modest interest rate, The lessee would be able to purchase the lot outright any time he wished.
