Agenda enda

6:00 p.m. Welcome 6:05 p.m. TCHC Overhoused and Underhoused Policy Market Rent Tenant Return Update Questions 6:55 p.m. Wrap Up

Why is it important to “right-size”?

• There are thousands (1,000s) of people waiting for social housing in

need of larger bedroom sizes

• There are many TCHC tenants living in underhoused situations.
• There are laws that TCHC must comply with as a housing provider

(including overhoused right-sizing)

Overhoused Tenants are those living in units with more bedrooms than allowed for the number of people living in the Unit.

Ov Over r Housed used Process: cess: Definition finition and d Rules les

“Overhoused” households are those that have more bedrooms than are allowed for the number of authorized Household members living in the Unit. The Housing Services Act and City of Toronto local rules require such Households to transfer to a correctly sized unit.

See the City of Toronto’s RGI Administration Manual <https://www.toronto.ca/community-people/community-partners/social-housing-providers/rent-geared-to- income-administration/>.

2022/23 Possible Return to Replacement Unit in Regent Park TCHC + City Reviewing Solutions

TCHC tenants who have been paying market rent for more than 12 months have the right to return to a market rent replacement unit. However, TCHC has not constructed market rent units in Regent Park, and has therefore not been able to offer a new unit to these tenants. We are working with the City of Toronto to explore a solution to offer replacement units to these tenants in our last Phase 3 building, Block 16N (beside the Aquatic Centre, at the Corner of Sumach and Oak St).
