Provinces cagey about renter Aid Ottawa up housing minis Ter Paul Cosgrove May have to wait some time before getting derailed reaction from his provincial counter parts on the idea of a federally sponsored shelter allowance pro Gram for needy renters. Several of the ministers inter viewed during the Federal provincial housing meeting that ended Here yesterday said they need to know More about Ottawa s plans before committing themselves. Broached idea and one minister said he would be More positive about shelter allow ances if they were directed toward Low income homeowners As Well As renters. Cosgrove broached the possibility of shelter allowances at a housing conference sponsored by the Canad nation it by Luc a Sallalu to Grove not specific an real estate association earlier this year but said he wants further comments on the idea before taking it to Cabinet. However a communique issued by provincial ministers yesterday expressed Surprise that they have not yet received detailed information of what Cosgrove has in mind. Four provinces British Colum Bia Manitoba new Brunswick and Quebec have shelter allowance plans of their own and an obvious concern is How these plans would be affected by a Federal plan. We Don t want to see the Federal government come in and either duplicate what we Are doing or conflict with what we re said Mani Toba housing minister Gary Fil Mon. Pat Binns of Prince Edward Island said a shelter allowance plan for renters alone would be of Little help in his province because most people own their own Homes. He said his prime concern is Long term Assis Tance to help homeowners meet monthly mortgage payments. Wants guarantees Ontario s Claude Bennett said he would want some guarantees of Long term Federal support before committing himself to a shelter Al Lowance program. The provinces can t afford to get involved in shelter allowances Only to have Federal Money withdrawn As it in the Case of Ottawa s Community services contribution pro Gram he said. A Federal background paper on shelter allowances prepared by can Ada mortgage and housing corp. Says they could help solve the hous ing problems of or More families living in apartments. One possibility would be to provide monthly shelter allowance payments to families who spend More than 30 per cent of their incomes on rent and to subsidize 75 per cent of the differ ence Between that amount and the average Market rent. The paper suggests a shelter Al Lowance program would Cost million a year or More. The costs would probably be substantially lower if the payments were made Only to select groups such As elderly renters. Existing provincial shelter allowance programs Are directed to Ward senior citizens. Cosgrove has said the Cabinet probably won t decide before next Spring whether to proceed with a Federal plan and precisely who would be eligible for benefits.
