Bent Nail Tool Co-operative : using community assets to improve neighbourhoods and access affordable housing : document report / submitted to Homegrown Solutions ; submitted by Quint Development Corporation.: NH18-1/398-1999E-PDF

"The Bent Nail Tool Co-operative is one component of a broader strategy aimed at revitalizing five older neighbourhoods in the core area of Saskatoon. These areas have suffered from high concentrations of poverty and experienced physical and social decline. Yet the neighbourhoods also offer many opportunities with assets including both the existing urban infrastructure and human capital. The broader strategy encompasses a full range of community development activities and has focused on the existing housing assets as a key component. An assisted home ownership model has been developed to facilitate home ownership and stabilize a neighbourhood currently undermined by a high proportion of renters and high mobility.
