RECOMMENDATIONS:
recommendation
1. That the Housing Governance Models report, provided as an Attachment to the December 9, 2019 agenda report entitled “Affordable Housing Governance Models”, be received as information.

a. The City’s involvement in promoting affordable and accessible housing will not duplicate areas of responsibility of the senior levels of government but rather will focus on strategic planning and co-ordination of affordable and accessible housing initiatives with municipal goals and priorities; and
b. Municipal resources and investments in affordable and accessible housing will be utilized to expand the non-market housing supply and to leverage operational funding from, and partnerships with, non-municipal sources.
