City Council on October 27, 28 and 30, 2020, adopted the following:

1.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, in collaboration with the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, to:

a.  develop mechanisms to assess the outcomes of the Affordable Home Ownership Program, including the extent to which the Program is effectively contributing towards the City's housing priorities; and, in doing so, the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, should also review and implement the relevant outstanding recommendations from its 2012 study; and

b.  consider and recommend enhancements or adjustments to the Affordable Home Ownership Program and/or level of funding, if outcomes are not being effectively achieved through the Program in its current form.

2.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to define the targeted level of housing affordability it aims to provide through its Affordable Home Ownership Program and give consideration to:

a.  aligning the definition with other municipal/provincial definitions;

b.  setting limits on gross debt service ratios for eligibility; and

c.  establishing maximum purchase price limits that are at, or below, the average market values for that unit type/size and that will support the City's desired level of affordability.

3.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to analyze the extent to which the Affordable Home Ownership Program has helped households in purchasing homes that are affordable to them (i.e., whether or not loan recipients meet the targeted level of housing affordability); and this analysis should, in turn, be considered when assessing the overall impact of funding on the achievement of housing objectives and outcomes.

4.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to confirm that the information households provide for loan eligibility purposes is consistent with what they submit to their third-party lenders who assess whether the purchasers can carry the cost of ownership when approving them for a primary mortgage; this will help better assess if they have included all income and asset sources, particularly where they appear to have exceeded the targeted level of housing affordability.

5.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to pursue measures related to ongoing affordability that the City should implement; and this could include:

a.  pursuing legislative changes for ongoing affordability outside of the Planning Act (i.e., to allow the City to enter into housing agreements with ongoing affordability conditions like tenure of housing and resale price restrictions that can be registered on title); and

b.  considering other non-legislative options to offer ongoing affordability, including exercising the option to purchase terms on resale.

6.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to:

a.  require proponents to track and report the reasons why loan discharges and/or unit resales have occurred; this information should be used when assessing the overall impact of funding; and

b.  obtain and review calculations and supporting documents for loan and capital appreciation repayments to the City to ensure that amounts calculated by proponents and repaid to the City are accurate and reasonable.

7.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to pursue changes to Affordable Home Ownership Program requirements that will support prioritization of affordable home ownership opportunities and funding based on local needs and City priorities; in setting priorities, the City should consider collecting data on the types of applicants who applied to/expressed interest in opportunities at affordable home ownership developments; and, in doing so, the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, should consult with key stakeholders, including proponents, and consider best practices from other jurisdictions to ensure any changes support intended program outcomes.

8.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to implement enhanced program guidelines to ensure that loan recipients meet the spirit of the Affordable Home Ownership Program; and this may include:

a.  limits on assets. This should consider purchasers' bank and investment balances and the amount of personal funds available to pay for deposits, down payments, and/or upgrades;

b.  a minimum number of years where applicants must demonstrate they meet income requirements. Income documentation should be as current as possible to reflect applicants' true financial pictures at the time of application; income requirements should also consider and address circumstances where there are changes to household composition or income after the time of application;

c.  restrictions on residency, whereby applicants who are currently living in Toronto prior to applying are prioritized; and

City Council request that, in enhancing the above guidelines, the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, should consult with key stakeholders, including proponents, and consider best practices from other jurisdictions to ensure that any changes best support intended program outcomes.

9.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to:

a.  ensure that future Affordable Home Ownership Program delivery agreements are clear on the number of modest units at affordable prices proponents are expected to provide. Targets should reflect the level of affordability that the City intends to create and the amount of loan funding allocated to the development should support this objective;

b.  improve monitoring of proponent sales of affordable units and the issuance of loans in order to more proactively address challenges in creating the expected number of affordable home ownership opportunities. Where proponents do not achieve targets, the City should assess the root causes and determine if program adjustments are required as part of its overall program evaluation; and

c.  improve the timeliness with which unused funding for affordable home ownership loans is returned to the City so that it can be made available to better support other housing opportunities and priorities.

10.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to implement a formally documented review process to ensure that:

a.  all applicant, unit eligibility, ongoing occupancy, and other delivery agreement requirements for the Affordable Home Ownership Program have been met. Loan files should be reviewed for any discrepancies between documents (i.e., to ensure that information reported between documents is consistent) and appropriate follow-up action, in collaboration with proponents, should be taken to ensure that eligibility requirements have been met; and

b.  information provided by proponents on semi-annual reports is accurate and consistent with loan files submitted. To allow for effective program evaluation, reports should capture all loan sources, including amounts provided directly by proponents.

11.  City Council request the Executive Director, Housing Secretariat, to:

a.  provide enhanced guidance on how proponents should validate and document that income, legal status, residential tenancy, and other delivery agreement requirements for the Affordable Home Ownership Program have been met (i.e., what documents to obtain and review); and

b.  provide guidance on what proponents should be looking for when reviewing eligibility documentation and how to properly document and follow up on any discrepancies noted.

a.  consultation, on a periodic basis, with industry experts and the Benefits Plan Administrator to identify industry standards and acceptable practices for dental benefits coverage limits, particularly in areas where use by the City's plan members is significantly higher than industry standards or benchmarks; and

 
b.  recommending reasonable maximum plan coverages for the appropriate services, such as the benchmark averages provided by the Benefits Plan Administrator and examples provided by the Auditor General; consideration for special circumstances should be provided, where necessary; and the identified cost saving opportunities should also be considered for other benefit plans and implemented across the City and its Agencies and Corporations.

3.  City Council request the Controller, in consultation with the Benefits Plan Administrator, to review the identified exceptions and select the instances (outliers) that require a detailed review, including obtaining records from the service providers.
