RECOMMANDATIONS DU RAPPORT

Que le Comité des services communautaires et de protection recommande que le Conseil, conformément au programme Action Ottawa, approuve :

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In April 2006, the Province completed the guidelines for the Canada/Ontario Affordable Housing Program (AHP). There have been a number of program streams within the AHP, and additional funding was sought and provided in 2007 such that a total of $34.6 million in Federal and Provincial funding has been made available to Ottawa since 2004 for the development of low-income affordable rental housing. Based on the program average of $70,000 per unit, this funding was expected to support the provision of 495 units.

To date, 391 new units of affordable housing have been approved for development under the program, utilizing $19.9 million in Federal and Provincial funding and a further $15.8 million in City land, grants and fee and development charge waivers. The purpose of this report is to allocate the remainder of the AHP funds.

Staff issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) on April 16, 2008 (ACS2008-CPS-HOU-0001) to allocate the remainder of the AHP funds prior to the Provincial – Federal deadline of December 31, 2008. The RFP was circulated to the community through the City’s website and e-mail announcement to a list of self-identified private and not-for-profit housing developers. A selection committee comprising representatives from planning, real estate development, and social housing evaluated the six submitted proposals in accordance with City procurement policies and Action Ottawa program guidelines.

The recommended proposals totalling 155 dwelling units, from Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation, Live Work Play Incorporated, Multifaith Housing Initiative, Dovercourt Housing Co-operative and Safe Housing Ottawa Incorporated are described in the report and in Schedule A, attached. The project agreements will specify that the proposed developments will remain affordable for 35 years, though the non-profit structure of most organizations will ensure affordability beyond the term of the project agreements.

The proposals are subject to all normal planning approvals processes. All proponents met with staff from Planning, Transit and the Environment, and a city planner participated in the project selection committee. Capital spending authority to support this allocation of AHP funding, in the amount of $650,000, as described above, is available in the Affordable Housing Capital Building Fund.

The sixth proposal was for straight acquisition of an existing rental building without any significant conversion or renovation, and Ministry staff have indicated that it would therefore be unlikely to receive Ministerial approval.

Staff have also been working with a number of agencies in the community towards acquisition projects that can be converted to qualifying uses. The nature and timing of property acquisition meant that these agencies were not ready to submit a proposal in this RFP process.

Therefore, staff are seeking Council’s approval to continue to work with these agencies and, if successful, to report back to Council with recommendations for allocation of the remaining AHP funding without an additional RFP. Any such projects will be subject to full financial assessment and qualification of the proposals per the RFP assessment process.

This includes the sixth project proposal received under the current RFP, which staff will put forward for funding if the necessary flexibility can be achieved within the AHP guidelines.

~~be allocated to~~ The recommended proposals would be subject to Council approval based on standard affordable housing rating criteria for proposals, a financial assessment, and the guidelines of the AHP program.

RÉSUMÉ

En avril 2006, la province a établi les lignes directrices du Programme Canada-Ontario de logement abordable. Ce programme contient de nombreux volets et un financement supplémentaire a été demandé et reçu en 2007, de sorte qu’un financement total de 34,6 millions de dollars a été octroyé à la Ville d’Ottawa par les gouvernements provincial et fédéral depuis 2004 pour l’aménagement de logements locatifs abordables. Cette somme devait permettre la création de 495 unités, en fonction d’une moyenne par logement de 70 000 $ établie pour ce programme.

Jusqu’à présent, la création de 391 nouvelles unités de logement abordable a été approuvée dans le cadre du programme, mobilisant 19,9 millions de dollars du financement fédéral et provincial ainsi que 15,8 millions de dollars de plus en terrains municipaux, subventions et frais et dispenses de redevances d’exploitation. L’objectif du présent rapport est d’allouer le reste des fonds du Programme de logement abordable.

Le personnel a émis une demande de propositions (DDP) le 16 avril 2008 (ACS2008-CPS-HOU-0001) pour allouer le reste des fonds du Programme de logement abordable avant la date limite provinciale et fédérale, soit le 31 décembre 2008. La DDP a été diffusée au moyen du site Web de la Ville et d’un courriel envoyé à une liste volontaire de promoteurs immobiliers privés et sans but lucratif. Un comité de sélection réunissant des représentants des secteurs de l’urbanisme, de l’aménagement immobilier et des logements sociaux a évalué les six propositions reçues conformément aux politiques d’approvisionnement de la Ville et aux lignes directrices du programme Action Ottawa.

Les propositions recommandées, qui touchent à un total de 155 logements et ont été formulées par Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation, Live Work Play Incorporated, Multifaith Housing Initiative, Dovercourt Housing Co-operative et Safe Housing Ottawa Incorporated, sont décrites dans le rapport et dans l’annexe A ci-jointe. Les ententes de projet stipuleront que les logements proposés devront demeurer abordables pendant 35 ans. Toutefois, la nature de la plupart de ces organismes à but non lucratif fait en sorte que les logements demeurent abordables pendant plus longtemps.

Les propositions devront passer par tous les processus habituels d’approbation des demandes d’aménagement. Tous les promoteurs ont rencontré le personnel d’Urbanisme, Transport en commun et Environnement, et un urbaniste de la Ville faisait partie du comité de sélection des projets. Comme expliqué précédemment, les autorisations de dépenses en capitaux pour l’allocation de ce financement du Programme de logement abordable, correspondant à 650 000 $, proviennent du fonds de construction de logements abordables.

La sixième proposition concernait l’acquisition directe d’un immeuble locatif existant ne nécessitant aucune transformation ou rénovation importante et c’est pourquoi le personnel du Ministère a jugé peu probable qu’elle soit approuvée par ce dernier.

Le personnel a également travaillé en collaboration avec un certain nombre d’organismes de la collectivité afin de mettre sur pied des projets d’acquisition qui pourraient être modifiés pour être admissibles. La nature de l’acquisition de terrains et le temps nécessaire pour le faire n’ont pas permis à ces organismes de soumettre une proposition dans le cadre de la présente DDP.

Par conséquent, le personnel demande l’approbation du Conseil pour continuer à collaborer avec ces organismes et, si cette collaboration s’avère fructueuse, de faire un nouveau rapport au Conseil accompagné de recommandations sur l’allocation du reste des fonds du Programme de logement abordable sans qu’une nouvelle DDP soit nécessaire. Tous ces nouveaux projets seront soumis à une évaluation financière complète et au processus d’évaluation de l’admissibilité des propositions de la DDP.

Cela concerne également la sixième proposition de projet reçue dans le cadre de la présente DDP, qui sera soumise par le personnel en vue d’obtenir du financement si la souplesse nécessaire peut être accordée conformément aux lignes directrices du Programme de logement abordable.

Les propositions recommandées seront soumises à l’approbation du Conseil selon les critères d’évaluation habituels des propositions de logement abordable, à une évaluation financière et aux lignes directrices du Programme de logement abordable.

BACKGROUND

Action Ottawa is the City’s primary program for increasing the supply of low-income affordable housing in Ottawa. The program is designed to facilitate the development of mixed income communities that are well designed and well managed, and built on a scale that ensures integration within the neighbourhood. There are approximately 10,000 households on the Social Housing Registry waiting list for subsidized housing. There is a need for all household unit sizes from bachelors to four and five bedroom units.

The projects selected through Action Ottawa are funded through a partnership with the Federal and Provincial Governments under the Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program (AHP). Since 2004, the ~~total allocation for the~~ City of Ottawa has been allocated approximately $~~a total of $xxxx~~34.6 million under the AHP ~~Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program (AHP)~~ in various waves and program streams. ~~for new rental housing was originally 315 rental housing units totalling $22.05 million in Wave 1 of the program and approximately 180 rental units totalling $12.76 million in Wave 2.~~ Funding is not provided on a per unit basis, but is provided as a lump-sum capital investment based on an average ~~maximum~~ of $70,000 of AHP funding per dwelling unit. Based on this average, the allocated funding was expected to support the provision of 495 units.

Of the total AHP allocation, the Province has required that the City provide a minimum of 93 supportive housing dwelling units. The housing with supports is to be made available for individuals living with a mental illness, individuals with a dual diagnosis, and victims of domestic violence. To qualify as “dedicated supportive housing units” under this program, the housing provider must enter an agreement with a support service agency funded by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care or the Ministry of Community and Social Services. The City has been meeting with these Ministries and the appropriate local service agencies to ensure that the process is as streamlined as possible.

The City has also provided capital funding to supplement the AHP and to increase the level of affordability able to be achieved. City contributions include capital funding, land, and waiver of eligible development fees and charges. Despite this additional funding it has not been financially viable to provide the supportive housing to date, as the level of affordability required to meet this need could not be achieved through the level of capital contributions because of high construction and financing costs.

This report deals specifically with the Housing Branch recommendations, based on the recommendations of the Selection Committee, which met on July 24, 2008. Please see Schedule A for the project details.

Schedule B provides an overview of the AHP program funding since 2005 and how that funding has been or will be allocated.

DISCUSSION

In 2008, the Province advised that iIn order to secure the remainder of the AHP funds, the City must be in a position to recommend affordable housing proponents to the Province and have respective Provincial Contribution Agreements signed prior to December 31, 2008.

On June 27, 2008, the Housing Branch released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the development of affordable housing in accordance with the AHP ~~Canada-Ontario Affordable Housing Program~~ guidelines for new construction and acquisition and rehabilitation.

No City land or additional capital ~~, beyond previous funding from Council for Wave 1~~ was available in this proposal call. City incentives, including waiver of eligible development fees and charges and up to $10,000 per unit were available to enable the creation of fully accessible housing. Both non-profit and private sector proponents were encouraged to obtain land independently through either new construction on underutilized properties or acquisition of existing buildings that could be converted to affordable housing. Up to $30,000 of aAdditional AHP funding was available ~~considered~~ for supportive housing only. This funding came from funds that were not allocated in Wave 1 of the program and specifically set aside for supportive housing..

The RFP had three key objectives:

- Primary Objective: To achieve a maximum number of rental housing units on the site that are permanently affordable through either new construction and/or acquisition and rehabilitation.

- Secondary Objective: To reduce the operating cost to the owner and/or tenant through green building technology, energy and water conservation measures, and ecological sustainability of the building site.

- Tertiary Objective: To provide accessible and supportive housing units where possible.

Six qualifying proposals were received and reviewed by the Selection Committee, which included representatives from City and community experts in housing issues. A representative from the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing was present at all evaluation meetings but was not a voting member. In addition, the Housing Branch worked with the City’s Procurement division throughout the entire process to ensure that the RFP was run in a fair and consistent manner.

Selection Committee Recommendations

Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation (CCOC) – 424 Metcalfe St., (Ward 14)

CCOC proposes to complete the development of the 424 Metcalfe site (Beaver Barracks), Phase II, by constructing an apartment building facing Catherine Street. This final phase will consist of a total of 87 residential units and utilizes the remainder of the property known as 424 Metcalfe Street. This second and final phase consists primarily of a proposed seven-storey apartment building along Catherine Street in the location of the current paramedic post on the site. The existing paramedic post is to be relocated into a 7 storey apartment building planned for the northwest corner of Catherine and Metcalfe Street that will be constructed in the first phase of the project. CCOC is requesting the same level of resources from the City for Phase I of the project, excluding the $30,000 per unit capital grant previously available.

The total project cost for Phase II is expected to be $12.2 million and CCOC is requesting $6,090,000 of Federal/Provincial AHP funds, an accessibility grant of $60,000 from the City and fee relief described in Schedule A.

Live Work Play(LWP) Incorporated – 265 Poulin Avenue, (Ward 7)

Live Work Play (LWP) is a registered charitable organization that has been supporting youth and adults with intellectual disabilities in Ottawa since 1997. LWP has been working on issues related to supportive housing since 2003, when adults with intellectual disabilities and their aging families began to realize that there were limited resources and choices to meet the unique housing needs of people with intellectual disabilities. LWP is proposing to acquire 7 one bedroom condominium units in a condominium building at 265 Poulin Avenue from a local Ottawa Developer, Urbandale Corporation. The proposal integrates supportive housing into an established community and adds 7 rental that were previously condominium tenure.

The total project costs to acquire the 7 units is approximately $1.07 million and LWP is requesting that $100,000 per unit, totalling $700,000, of Federal-Provincial AHP Funds be allocated to support their proposal.

Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI), Blake Blvd., (Ward 12)

The Multifaith Housing Initiative (MHI) is a coalition of individuals and faith groups who believe that the affordable housing crisis must be addressed as a matter of social justice. Its patrons are senior leaders of the Christian, Jewish and Muslim Faiths. MHI received Action Ottawa funding in 2006 to assist with the purchase of 10 condominium apartments from Teron Inc., at 138 Somerset Street. MHI is proposing to acquire and renovate a 27-unit apartment building on Blake Street in the former City of Vanier as well as convert 18 two-bedroom apartments into three bedroom apartments to address this need on the Social Housing Registry waiting list.

The total project cost is expected to be approximately $2.3 million and MHI is requesting $840,000 of Federal/Provincial AHP funds to assist in the acquisition and rehabilitation of the property.

~~Centretown Citizens Ottawa Corporation~~

~~Acquisition and Rehabilitation of apartment building on Primrose (TBD)~~

Dovercourt Housing Co-operative, Molenaar Private, (Ward 15)

The Dovercourt Housing Cooperative, completed in 1983, is a non-profit housing cooperative located in the Westboro neighbourhood of Ottawa. The co-operative currently consists of 40 townhouses which, for the most part, are family oriented.

The Dovercourt Co-operative is proposing a 3 storey, 10 unit apartment to be located in the central part of their property. The proposed building is proposed to be of a similar scale to the surrounding co-operative buildings that are 2 to 3 storeys in height. The proposal consists of all one bedroom apartments because the current configuration of the existing units is comprised of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom townhouses. Two of the proposed units will be at grade and be fully accessible.

The total project cost is expected to be $1.45 million and the Co-operative is requesting $700,000 of Federal/Provincial AHP funds, an accessibility grant of $20,000 from the City and fee relief described in Schedule A.

The co-operative was built under Section 95 of the National Housing Act, a federal housing program. As such it is not subject to the Ontario Social Housing Reform Act, however, it is subject to approval by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and/or the Co-operative Housing Federation to allow additional development on the site, which is currently encumbered by a CMHC social housing mortgage agreement. Staff have been advised that a letter providing permission for said development is forthcoming. Funding will be subject to confirmation of that approval.

Safe Housing Ottawa (SHO) Incorporated, 2475 Regina St., (Ward 7)

The proposal submitted by Safe Housing Ottawa (SHO) is a partnership between a private developer, Windmill Development Corporation, a registered charity, Parkway House and a new local non-profit corporation, Safe Housing Ottawa. To provide long term economic security and sustainable housing and services for their residents, Parkway House agreed to sell a portion of their property with a covenant on title that requires new development to include non-profit housing for people with disabilities. The overall development is proposed to consist of two buildings: a high-rise ~~will include a mix of~~ market condominium, and a separate mid-rise (5 storey) ~~s in one building and a separate~~ condominium comprised of 32 units for people with environmental sensitivities and a new 12 bed home for Parkway House. Of the 32 subject condominium units, 8 are proposed to be sold at market value and 24 will be developed under Action Ottawa and provided as rental housing.).

The total Action Ottawa project cost is expected to be $3.75 million and Safe Housing Ottawa is requesting $1,680,000 of Federal/Provincial AHP funds, an accessibility grant of $240,000 from the City and fee relief described in Schedule A.

Because the market condominium high-rise requires additional planning approvals, Staff are recommending that the Action Ottawa funding for this project include conditions such that this project can proceed regardless of the outcome of the planning approvals process for the neighbouring market condominium.

Each ~~The~~ proposals is ~~are all~~ subject to all normal planning approvals processes, including site plan approval if applicable. All proponents met with staff from Planning, Transit and the Environment, and a city planner participated in the project selection committee.

If approved by Council, this recommendation to fund five ~~six~~ proposals to build and acquire 155 affordable housing units will be submitted to the Province for review and approval by the Minister.

As reported to Council on March 26, 2008 (ACS2008-CPS-HOU-0001), the level of funding available in the AHP is increasingly insufficient to support the development of new housing. Staff recommended that options to use AHP funding to acquire and rehabilitate existing residential properties be pursued as a more cost-effective way of providing low-income affordable housing, and also to help slow the loss of existing lower-cost market (especially rental) housing due to conversion, redevelopment or escalating costs to operate and maintain buildings.

Two of the proposed projects are following that approach – Multifaith Housing Initiative is acquiring and significantly renovating an existing rental apartment building, and Live Work Play acquisition of condominiums and conversion to rental housing.

The sixth project proposal is not being recommended for funding at time because of restrictions in the AHP program guidelines. Staff have worked with the Province to try to open the AHP program guidelines to enable straight acquisition of existing rental housing and conversion to long-term low-income affordable housing.

However, the Federal program guidelines require that AHP funding be used to provide new housing, which has been interpreted as:

- new development,

- conversion of non-residential to residential,

- acquisition of existing residential to prevent it’s absolute loss (demolition or conversion to non-residential use or condominium tenure), or

- acquisition and significant renovation of existing residential properties.

The sixth proposal was for straight acquisition of an existing rental building without any significant conversion or renovation. The selection committee recommended this project for funding, however Ministry staff have indicated that it would therefore be unlikely to receive Ministerial approval. Therefore staff are withholding recommendation for this project at this time.

Staff have also been working with a number of agencies in the community towards acquisition projects that can be converted to qualifying uses. At this time, the potential projects include an existing hotel, an existing apartment building, and up to 76 existing rooming house units, each of which are being proposed to be converted to low-income supportive housing, primarily for singles currently residing in emergency shelters. The nature and timing of property acquisition meant that these agencies were not ready to submit a proposal in this RFP process.

This includes the sixth project proposal received under the current RFP, which staff will put forward for funding if the necessary flexibility can be achieved within the AHP guidelines.

CONSULTATION

The call for proposals was circulated to the community through advertisement on the City’s website, and e-mail announcement to a list of self-identified housing developers. Two information sessions were held, the first on April 18, 2008 and the second on May 16, 2008 for proponents interested in submitting a proposal. Approximately 50 people attended the sessions. All proponents met with staff from Planning, Transit and the Environment, and a City Planner participated in the project selection committee.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

Capital spending authority to support the projects in the amount of $750,000, as identified in recommendation 2 above, is currently available for transfer from the Affordable Housing Capital Building Fund project (901001) to newly created capital projects.

The amount of $750,000 includes the proposed capital grant funding and proposed grants in-lieu of (a) building permit fees and (b) school board development charges, (c) predevelopment funding of up to $100,000 for the acquisition of property for supportive housing, (d) up to $15,000 contingency for fee increases; and excludes the estimated $823,000 in relief from development fees and planning fees.
