Public housing projects were the original form of government supported housing for lowincome residents. Over the last fifty years many projects have struggled with high crime rates and numerous social problems. One solution proposed to address these ongoing issues is granting residents decisionmaking power within their community by converting into a cooperative. Building a Cooperative Community in Public Housing follows the journey of a Toronto public housing complex as it was converted into a residentoperated cooperative, a first in Canada.Jorge Sousa traces the story of Alexandra Park, which became the Atkinson Housing Cooperative in 2003 after a tenyear conversion process. Sousa, who himself was raised in the community, provides an empirical account of the contributing factors that influenced its decision to pursue communitybased control, as well as the experiences of both residents and government officials engaged in this process. Finally, Building a Cooperative Community in Public Housing offers a framework for other communities facing similar circumstances who want to learn how to go about undertaking this process.All royalties from this book will be contributed to the Cooperative Housing Federation of Toronto Charitable Fund.
