In 2012 a member was evicted for not paying any housing charge for Seventeen (17) months. During that time the member was given subsidies twice to clear thousands of dollars in arrears.  The non-payment of rent (housing charge) continued unabated until it was eventually brought to the members' attention by way of eviction. How could this have happened?  Easy - friends in high places.

In our Human Rights case, despite my husband's poor health, the co-op stated that they had to move us to Phase II of the co-op because we were subsidized creating undue hardship for Phase 1. The above-mentioned member lived rent free for months on end in the same Phase of the co-op as us.To the Human Rights Tribunal our housing transfer was viewed as a legitimate non-profit housing concern - to the power elite in the co-op, the magical words 'non-profit' worked sublimely - again!
