On October 27, 2020, through Item 2020.EX17.2, "Implementing Tenants First - 2020 Action Updates", City Council directed the Toronto Community Housing Corporation to negotiate and settled agreements of purchase and sale with the successful proponents selected through the Request for Proposals process. In order to proceed with the transfers, some properties require dividing land into separate lots through a plan of subdivision or a land severance. A number of properties are also in need of repair and renovations to improve the quality of the homes for existing and future residents. Given that these homes are rented as affordable rental housing (with many providing deeply affordable rental homes), it is recommended that Council approve an exemption from planning application and building permit fees to allow the Toronto Community Housing Corporation to proceed with any required renovations and/or future transfer of these properties.
