On the agenda

As the city filed it

In December 2019, City Council approved the Community Housing Partnership Renewal Program (CHPR), a new program designed to incentivize former federal non-profit housing providers with expired operating agreements to enter into new agreements with the City. CHPR is a key initiative within the HousingTO 2020-2030 Action Plan, to secure affordable housing and maintain or improve levels of affordability. The implementation of CHPR requires site-specific authority from Council to approve individual municipal housing facility agreements for participating housing providers.

In October 2020, City Council approved the first round of non-profit housing providers that committed to participating in the program. Four housing providers enrolled into the CHPR program, securing a total of 360 affordable rental units for 20-year terms. The purpose of this report is to obtain Council authority for Shelter, Support and Housing Administration (SSHA) to implement the second round of non-profit housing providers that have committed to participating in CHPR. This includes enrolling two housing providers with a total of 237 affordable rental units; 139 units for a 20-year term and 98 units for a 10-year term. In addition to securing affordable rental units, agreements under CHPR will deepen affordability through the provision of housing benefits.
