The Co-operative Housing Federation of Toronto
was instrumental in enabling Alexander Park to make the conversion
from a public housing project to a co-op community and continues
to provide leadership and assistance. It is now facilitating a campaign
to use the experiences gained in Alexandra Park/Atkinson Co-op to
create a model for transition in other public housing projects.
