DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, MCHA RECEIVED LAND AND WATER SHARES IN ITS WHOLLY-OWNED SUBSIDIARY, MOUNTAINLANDS COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, WHICH WILL BE USED TO DEVELOP 28 APARTMENTS AT THE VILLAGE AT KIMBALL JUNCTION DEVELOPMENT IN SUMMIT COUNTY. MCHA WAS ONE OF TEN ORGANIZATIONS NATIONALLY SELECTED FOR OF A CORNERSTONE HOMEOWNERSHIP OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM ONE YEAR GRANT TOTALING 130,000 STARTING APRIL 1, 2012.
