This report provides an update on steps taken to develop and apply the points-based system. It also explains how the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the implementation of these employment plans by IMIT recipients and their tenants, and the ability of staff to report on process and outcomes. The report recommends that City Council extend the timeline for staff to report back on the pilot program results. By extending the trial period during which these results can be assessed, staff and Council will be in a better position to identify opportunities for further improvement.
