Quint's Neighborhood Home Ownership Program enables low-income families to achieve affordable and stable homeownership within housing co-operatives in the five core neighbourhoods.  In addition, Quint plans to work with housing Co-operative members over the coming months to make energy efficiency upgrades available. The goal is to improve the quality of homes, reduce energy bills, reduce the effects on the environment, and to make the repayment of the retrofit work affordable from money saved on energy bills.  This initiative goes along with Quint's more holistic approach to Community Economic Development by integrating economic, social, ecological, political, and cultural development as part of a strategy, with the revitalizing and reclaiming of community as its primary aim.
