During the month of October, The Resurrection Project made progress towards it proposed goals to (1) develop an educational curriculum for coop buyers, and (2) develop a share loan product for individual coop buyers. Activities towards these goals included: we consulted with Upside Down Consulting and LEAF Fund's Mary Wong, senior loan officer and Josh Glickenhouse, director of lending and operations. We also met with Alex Cabral, Innovative finance senior principal of Grounded Solutions Network. We met with a group in Little Village for a listening session regarding their specific needs such as a product that is and ITIN friendly. We had the chance to provide an education presentation to residents of a cooperative housing community about financial education and shared information about limited equity housing cooperatives. To aid in the development of the share loan, we enlisted the help of several individuals/entities, including staff at UHAB who provide share loans in NYC. UHAB will be assisting TRP by sharing loan documents and some of their loan procedures. We also met with Fatima Perez and Bob Dickinson who both have more than 20 years of title experience, including closing share loans, and Frank Binetti, a lender with CIBM mortgage. What we have learned is that there are very few individuals (even within institutions that offer share loans) who have personal experience with them. Kristen Komara had the attended the annual OFN conference in DC earlier in the month. There, she connected with several individuals doing noteworthy work in the coop space, including Ja’Net Defell and Margaret Lund. Margaret developed a share loan product for the Minneapolis market years ago and has agreed to offer support to TRP.
ما هي القيود أو القيود، إن وجدت، التي واجهتها في الفترة المشمولة بالتقرير الأخير؟
The Resurrection Project has been actively researching and collaborating with various lenders and cooperative professionals to develop a loan product and associated documentation. We have gathered relevant documentation but there is still more to be found. As noted above, a limitation is the limited availability of share loans and individuals who have experience with them. Thankfully, we believe we have connected with knowledgeable individuals who will aid in the development of our product.
