1. Pre-Planning

The following work, and a summary of the relevant results, should be completed before the community engagement process begins:

-     Area Profile

-     City Services Coordination Plan

-     Due Diligence Process, including completion of the Shelter Site Assessment Template

-     Program Model

-     Group(s) to be served

-     Program capacity

-     Service type

-     Staffing model

-     Community support model

-     Special features

2. Facilitation

A facilitator with expertise in managing complex and potentially contentious community engagement processes will be selected to plan and implement each project's engagement plan. The facilitator will be selected from a pre-qualified list that will be updated on an annual basis.

3. Engagement Plan

Based on the findings of the pre-planning process the project's unique engagement plan will be developed. Every plan will include a set of required activities. The need or value of adding other (optional) activities will be considered for every plan.

To support the engagement plan, a summary of the pre-planning work will be developed and may be used to support engagement discussions.

City Councillors whose Wards either contain or have a boundary located within 250 metres of a proposed municipal shelter location will be briefed on the pre-planning findings, and on the engagement plan before it is finalized.

4. Purpose of Engagement

All engagement activities will be based on respectful dialogue and non-threatening language. People will be supported to articulate their concerns in a constructive manner so solutions can be identified. People with lived experience and other vulnerable people will also have a safe space to express their ideas and needs. The focus of engagement will be on planning for and improving the service to be delivered, not approving it.

5. Required Engagement Activities

Meetings with Key Stakeholders

Engagement meetings will be requested with representatives of the following organizations where their service areas contain or have a boundary located within 250 metres of a proposed municipal shelter location:

-     Community associations, groups and tables

-     Business Improvement Areas

-     Local Health Improvement Network

-     Community Health Centres

-     Schools

-     Youth-serving organizations

These meetings may be organization-specific or bring organizations together in groups.

Information website

A page will be added to the City's website that will contain a project overview, a phone number and email address for information or meeting inquiries, information about planned open house(s) and other community engagement opportunities, and a space for directly submitting project input.

Information notice

A project information notice will be circulated to properties within a 500 metre radius of the proposed municipal shelter location. The notice will include a project summary, a phone number and email address for information or meeting inquiries, the project's webpage address, and planned open house(s) details.

Public open house

A public open house will be held, within the Ward containing the proposed municipal shelter location. Open houses will provide project information and the opportunity for residents to speak to a range of City and agency representatives about homelessness generally, the specific service being proposed, and how the project can be supported by the community.

6. Optional Engagement Activities

The required engagement activities may not provide all stakeholders an opportunity to learn about and provide input into the shelter. The City may also identify information gaps or unexplored partnership opportunities that additional engagement activities will address.

Optional engagement activities may be added to the engagement plan throughout the engagement process. No limits will be placed on the potential variety or number of engagement activities. They will be held where staff determine that they are likely to help the community to be more broadly aware of and better understand the project, or where they are likely to enhance the project.

Optional engagement activities may include:

-     Additional open houses

-     Additional engagement meetings with local stakeholders

-     Service partner meetings

-     Community Liaison Committee formation and meetings

-     Design charette

-     Focus group meetings

Additional web-based tools and technologies may also be used to enhance the engagement process, either independently or in order to enhance one or more of the required or optional engagement activities.

7. Post-Engagement

City Councillors whose Wards either contain or have a boundary located within 250 metres of a proposed municipal shelter location will be briefed on the engagement process and outcomes, and on staff recommendations for the proposed new municipal shelter, prior to project approval. A written summary of the engagement process and outcomes will also be summarized and shared with all organizations and individuals who participated in the engagement process."

2.  City Council direct the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to implement the following recommendations 1 through 16 in the Facilitator's Report (January, 2017) titled "Engaging Communities in First Step Housing and Services" included as Attachment 2 to the report (March 30, 2017) from the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration:

Recommendations 1 -16 from "Engaging Communities in First Step Housing and Services"

Recommendations to change the conversation:

1. It is clear that this issue needs a champion or champions.  The City of Toronto should engage civic leaders, business leaders, civil society leaders, faith leaders, youth leaders, eminent persons, academics and members of the Alliance to End Homelessness to mount a public campaign to be launched in early 2017 that will educate Torontonians about poverty/homelessness and the potential benefits/successes of First Step Housing and Services and engage them in a new framework to help our most vulnerable residents.

2. The City of Toronto should engage internal and external public relations, marketing communications and public opinion research professionals to develop and implement a strategy to educate Torontonians about poverty and homelessness and engage them in a new framework to help our most vulnerable residents. They can also consider new names for the service.

3. Any communications materials should be viewed through a lens of minimizing stigma and harm, promoting the rights and needs of individuals and underscoring the City of Toronto’s existing commitment to reduce poverty and homelessness. Public engagement activities should underscore the need for constructive, non-threatening dialogue.

4. Communications materials developed to engage communities in new First Step Housing and Services (where this is appropriate) should make clear what the purpose of the engagement is and what is or is not up for debate.

Recommendations to rethink the model:

5. Annually the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration should present City Council with a capital and operating budget and a City-wide plan for meeting First Step Housing and Services requirements. Individual sites would not be identified even if they are known, but areas where there are gaps or opportunities would be generally identified. Once approved, this plan and budget would form the basis for conducting area needs and asset inventories and lead to the location of new facilities.

6. In a Ward or adjacent Wards where gaps or opportunities for service have been identified, a detailed assessment of needs and assets would be done, in consultation with the local Councillor(s), local stakeholders and residents.

7. The new First Step Housing and Services model should include integration with services on site and in the community, integration with other facilities, and integration with the community. This means, whenever possible, co-locating with hospitals, community health centres, affordable housing sites, private real estate developments, or other community hubs. Community use of the First Step Housing site should be encouraged.

8. Shelter, Support and Housing Administration should create a roster of architects, planners, and urban design professionals to assess the property and assist with the design of new First Step Housing and Services facilities. The community should be involved in the design of these facilities.

9. The City should seek out best practices in services and facilities for people experiencing homelessness: individuals, couples, families. This means design excellence, operating excellence and programming excellence.

10. The City should investigate the feasibility of offering private real estate development incentives to integrate First Step Housing and Services into private development schemes. These could include expedited planning approvals, reduced development charges, or use of Section 37 agreements.

11. As it re-examines the management of its real estate portfolio, the City should prioritize the use of surplus assets for First Step Housing and Services and affordable housing where this makes sense and where this complies with the zoning by-law.

Recommendations to authentically engage the community:

12. City Council should amend its policies related to the Shelter By-law/Zoning-by-law to remove the requirement for a public meeting and notice circulation and instead include a range of public engagement options such as open houses, websites, charrettes, focus groups and meetings with community groups and residents.

13. Shelter, Support and Housing Administration should create a roster of third-party facilitators to engage when proposing new First Step Housing and Services facilities.

14. Community engagement should start with the annual plan developed by the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration for developing new First Step Housing and Service locations across the city. This plan should be available for public input through the Community Development and Recreation Committee and City Council. This report would not include specific new First Steps Housing sites.

15. In Wards or adjacent Wards where service gaps or opportunities are identified by Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, local needs and assets would be assessed. Local stakeholders, residents’ association, Business Improvement Areas, faith groups and service providers should be engaged through these assessments and these will form the basis for a web of allies who are committed to supporting First Step Housing and Services facilities in the community. Councillors should play a key role in identifying stakeholders who should be involved and in recommending engagement strategies.

16. Once a site is proposed for a First Step Housing and Services facility the public should be engaged to make it a success. Open houses, charrettes, focus groups and meetings with community groups can all be effectively used to engage the community. These processes need to make it clear that the site is not subject to public approval, but that the public’s help is needed to make these services a success. Public engagement should be subject to a code of conduct so that engagement is authentic and does not further victimize the people we are helping.

3.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to enter into agreements, as required, to develop a roster of professional facilitators for planned shelter engagement processes.

4.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to enter into agreements, as required, to develop new best practice shelter design guidelines.

6.  City Council authorize the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration to enter into agreements, as required, to pilot the new service model in four new shelter programs planned for 2017.

7.  City Council request the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration, to report to the November 16, 2017 meeting of the Community Development and Recreation Committee with an update on the pilot projects and further work towards development of the new service model; such report would include anticipated financial impacts, the new property development approach to shelter infrastructure planning and approvals, as well as the implementation strategy for the following recommendations 17 through 20 in the Facilitator's Report (January, 2017) titled "Engaging Communities in First Step Housing and Services" in Attachment 2 to the report (March 30, 2017) from the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration:

Recommendations 17 - 20 from "Engaging Communities in First Step Housing and Services"

Recommendations for city-wide leadership:

17. City Council should approve service plans, and operating and capital budgets on an annual basis that respond to the gaps and opportunities identified by the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration in their annual report to Council.

18. City Council should examine the potential for providing private developers with incentives to integrate affordable housing and First Step Housing and Services into their schemes, and for eliminating fees and levies currently applied to new shelters.

19. City Council should examine City-owned properties with a view to integrating First Step Housing and Services into these sites.

20. City Council should amend its policies related to the Shelter By-law/Zoning-By-law to delegate to the General Manager, Shelter, Support and Housing Administration the approval of specific sites for First Step Housing and Services provided that these sites are within the operating and capital budgets approved by Council.

2.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should amend its use of force reporting policy to provide greater clarity to members about use of force reports and when they must be completed. The policy should indicate the types of member actions the Unit wishes to capture on a use of force report. The Unit should strongly consider implementing a use of force reporting policy similar to the one put in place by OC Transpo's Transit Safety and Enforcement Services section.

3.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should obtain clarification from Toronto Police about the use of force reporting requirements under the Special Constable Agreement.

4.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should create its own use of force reporting template to document use of force incidents not required to be submitted to the Toronto Police. The reports should capture information that is relevant to the operations of the Unit, for example, station location and type of  Toronto Transit Commission vehicle involved. The Unit should use this information to identify trends and, potentially, to develop policy and training improvements.

5.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should implement a formal "early warning" tracking system to monitor the frequency and type of use of force incidents in which members are involved as a way to detect and, if need be, address patterns in member use of force.

6.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should issue, on an annual basis, a public report documenting Transit Enforcement Officer and Transit Fare Inspector use of force activities. The report should, at a minimum, provide the number of use of force incidents involving Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors, a brief summary of each incident, and statistics of use of force activities for previous years to allow for a comparative analysis.

7.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should implement a written policy on Transit Fare Inspector authority to use force.

8.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should develop written policies and procedures for its Use of Force Review Board. These should include a clear explanation of the board's purpose, its mandate and processes, and how the board enhances the Unit's oversight of its members.

9.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should remove or replace the Unit Complaints Coordinator as a participating member of the Use of Force Review Board.

TRAINING – DE-ESCALATION AND MENTAL HEALTH

10.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should amend its use of force policy to clearly outline the importance of de-escalation as an alternative to the use of physical force. The policy should provide a definition of de-escalation tactics and offer examples of situations where such tactics may be appropriate.

11.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should develop and/or amend training materials for Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors to highlight the importance and value of de-escalation as an alternative to the use of force. The training materials should also clearly outline how de-escalation skills and tactics are taught to Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors.

12.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should develop a formal evaluation process to assess Transit Enforcement Officer and Transit Fare Inspector use of de-escalation techniques during initial and ongoing training.

13.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should ensure that Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors receive regular training on mental health and on responding to persons impacted by issues related to mental health and mental illness.

PUBLIC COMPLAINTS

14.  The Toronto Transit Commission should develop a policy on resolving informal complaints against Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors through a local resolution process, and amend its complaints investigation procedures to include information about informal complaints and the resolution of same through a local resolution process. At a minimum, the policy should:

•  Outline what matters are eligible and ineligible for local resolution, and clarify that informal complaints which raise serious issues are ineligible for local resolution;

•  Provide timelines within which informal complaints will be resolved by local resolution;

•  Outline what communication complainants will receive about the complaints addressed by local resolution, for example, findings and outcome;

•  Establish a system to track the outcomes of informal complaints addressed by local resolution; and

•  Explain how a complainant can initiate a formal complaint should they not be satisfied with the outcome of the local resolution.

15.  The Toronto Transit Commission should amend its complaints investigations procedures to clarify that the Unit Complaints Coordinator accepts and can formally investigate oral complaints about Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors.

16.  The  Toronto Transit Commission should contact Toronto Police and clarify its complaint reporting obligations under the Special Constable Agreement for complaints about Transit Enforcement Officers that the Toronto Transit Commission receives by email.

17.  The Toronto Transit Commission should establish a written policy for the resolution of formal complaints against Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors informally. The policy should state that the Unit Complaints Coordinator must agree to resolve the complaint informally. The policy should also address whether a complaint can be resolved informally if there is a history of similar complaints against the Transit Enforcement Officer or Transit Fare Inspector involved.

18.  The Toronto Transit Commission's complaints investigations procedure for Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors should be amended to empower the Unit Complaints Coordinator to initiate an own initiative investigation in the absence of a public complaint, and, where deemed necessary by the Unit Complaints Coordinator, to continue a complaint investigation even if the complaint has been withdrawn.

19.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should establish a formal process to identify and monitor complaint trends for Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors. The Unit should also implement a policy outlining the process to be followed when a trend becomes apparent.

20.  The Toronto Transit Commission, through the Unit Complaints Coordinator, should make and release an annual public report that provides information on public complaints about Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors. These reports should include year-over-year complaint statistics for formal and informal complaints, brief summaries of complaint issues or common complaints received, complaint outcomes, information about complaint trends, and any other information deemed relevant by the Unit Complaints Coordinator.

21.  The Toronto Transit Commission should amend its complaints investigations procedures for Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors to reflect that the Unit Complaints Coordinator will notify complainants about the outcome of complaint investigations.

VIDEO CAMERAS

22.  The Toronto Transit Commission should install video recording cameras in all Transit Enforcement Unit patrol cars. The Toronto Transit Commission should also amend its corporate policy and procedures on video recording in public areas to reflect the use of video recording cameras in Transit Enforcement Unit patrol cars.

THE EXERCISE OF AUTHORITY

23.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should review its Code of Conduct for Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors to ensure that it aligns with the Unit's operational and organizational expectations of both positions. The Conduct of Conduct should define "unnecessary" arrest, which is a basis for a finding of misconduct.

24.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should consider creating a policy on the exercise of discretion by Transit Enforcement Officers and Transit Fare Inspectors to use their authority.

25.  The Transit Enforcement Unit should create a written policy on the arrest authority of a Transit Fare Inspector.

REPORTING BACK
