The Close, Bridge

First Rn Housiv 'ng Association

‘ ‘ Governments Housing Corporation and is managed by a system of voluntary Regional

Committees. The First Rung Housing Association is a subsidiary association which handles actual
home ownership, and uses public finance to renovate and put to good use property that would
otherwise have stood empty. This is what has happened to The Close.

Management of the Close

Residents will become the shareholders and members of a management company, at a purely
nominal cost. This company will, for the first five years. employ WPHT to be responsible for the
external affairs, insurance of the buildings, and other such matters. After five years, the residents
will be free to decide to retain the services of WPHT in those matters; or seek an alternative means
of organising them.
