As the member of the coop, you have an ownership stake in the company. Then you or someone who's a tenant can apply to reside in the unit. 18:38:15 From CJ OHara to Everyone: That is correct 18:38:22 From Linda Soderstrom to Everyone: Thanks Ms Gerry. 18:38:28 From William Higgins to Everyone: Every single family home can convert to either two or four units plus an ADU. 18:39:13 From Sharon J Hill to Everyone: Reacted to Love the idea of co-... with "❤️" 18:39:26 From Jessica Szuminski to Everyone: Reacted to "Jessica, I strife fo..." with ❤️ 18:39:29 From Jessica Szuminski to Everyone: Reacted to "Jessica, Thanks for ..." with ❤️ 18:39:37 From Jessica Szuminski to Everyone: Reacted to "Jessica, I can def s..." with ❤️ 18:39:44 From Jessica Szuminski to Everyone: Reacted to "That’s very exciting..." with ❤️ 18:39:46 From Gabby Ross (she/her) to Everyone: E-mail Sid at sbetancourt@nlihc.org! 18:44:07 From Jessica Szuminski to Everyone: Reacted to "Aren't there hud hom..." with ❗ 18:44:21 From William Higgins to Everyone: I want to buy a home, get the ADU for myself, then have one or more nonprofits do capital campaign to build the four units... Two with ramps mobility challenges. We would have that portion of property owned by the nonprofitfund the units.

Landlords are Still Raising Rents (Legally) without making Repairs (needed) leaving the Tenant with the option of remaining in an uncomfortable situation. We have the same issue here in Vermont and Vermont has the lowest vacancy rate in the nation, so even if the tenant wants to leave there is NO where to go... how do you limit landlords from making the rent far above the FMR??? 18:47:27 From Vee Sanchez to Everyone: Agree Jessica!
