N o- I nterest Loans
For Neighborhoods

Project will provide up to $6,000 for Oak Park,
Southfield home purchases

The Neighborhood Project, to
encourage Jewish families to locate
and remain in neighborhoods in Oak
Park and Southfield, is opening an
interest-free loan program. Any
Jewish home buyer purchasing a re-
sidence within the project's bound-
aries is eligible for a loan based on
ten percent of the home purchase
price, up to $6,000.
The applicant must qualify for a
mortgage, identify a loan guarantor
and plan to live in the house. He-
brew Free Loan Association, a
member agency of the Jewish Wel-

fare Federation, will help administer
the program.
According to the Federation's
Neighborhood Project director, Har-
riet Cooper, there are no age or in-
come limitations for the loan appli-
cants. "Inquiries into the program
have come from pe--sons in all in-
come brackets," she told The Jewish
News. There has been a lot of inter-
est in the loan program. And people,
as they have read about the
Neighborhood Project, have been
discussing where they want to live."

The 46 year old violinist and her
sister had applied together to emi-
grate from the Soviet Union in 1974.
Rosnovski said she was allowed to
leave "after two weeks." Her sister
Elena Keiss-Kuna, an electrical
engineer, was refused an exit visa

because she knew "state secrets."
Keiss-Kuna lost her job after
her application to emigrate. "She
has been unemployed for 12 years,"
Rosnovski said. "After her first ap-
plication the Soviets said, Wait five
years,' and after five years it was,
Wait ten years,' and after ten years
it was 15 years."
Rosnovski feels that time is
running out for her family, who lives
in Leningrad. Elena's first husband,
a non-Jew, left her when she decided
to go to Israel. Their son, Andrei
Keiss, turns 17 this month. In an-
