CORRESPONDENCE

 

 

A)

Federation of Canadian Municipalities

Re: Federal Community Housing Initiative

 

 

Correspondence was received from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities regarding Federal Community Housing Initiative. The Federal Community Housing Initiative component of the National Housing Strategy is the replacement of the operating agreements with rent subsidies for the co-ops that are still federally administered. However, according to the FCM, the program is being implemented in a way that is extremely prohibitive for those providers and there is growing concern that providers won’t be able to meet the criteria and conditions and won’t get the subsidies they need to keep their doors open. In Burnaby, there are 22 co-ops, including 1,680 units. The FCM is requesting member municipalities send a letter adding its voice, if the Federal Community Housing Initiative is not approved by Cabinet prior to the writ being dropped, federally administered social housing providers would face considerable uncertainty in knowing whether rent subsidies for low-income residents will continue before the temporary rent subsidy program ends on March 31st next year.

 

MOVED BY cOUNCILLOR keithley

SECONDED BY COUNCILLOR mcdonell 

 

THAT His Worship, Mayor Hurley, on behalf of Council, sent a letter to the Federal Minister of Families, Children and Social Development in support of the Federal Community Housing Initiative.
