KENORA, ON, June 8, 2009 — Mr. Greg Rickford, Member of Parliament for Kenora, joined with Naotkamegwanning First Nation and Chief Warren White to celebrate the grand opening of a new 10-unit seniors residence today, which was officially opened by Chief Warren White and will be home to more than 30 elders.

“The Government of Canada is committed to creating safe and affordable housing for Aboriginal people in Ontario and across the country.” said MP Rickford, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). “This project provides area elders with access to safe, quality housing at an affordable cost.”

CMHC provided a housing loan of $1,064,000 to facilitate the construction of this seniors residence. CMHC will also provide housing subsidies for this project, which are estimated at $2.1 million over the term of the 25-year loan agreement.

“It’s been a long, prosperous journey and now we can express the wishes that our elders voiced years ago to develop a seniors residence in Naotkamegwanning First Nation,” said Chief White. “Through hard work, determination and negotiations with CMHC, it has become the greatest accomplishment for our community. We’re a community that believes dreams can become reality when we work very hard to achieve them.”

CMHC’s On-Reserve Non-Profit Housing Program assists First Nations in the purchase, construction, rehabilitation and administration of affordable on-reserve rental housing, and provides subsidies for First Nations people living on-reserve. The Government of Canada provides approximately $270 million in on-reserve funding each year to address housing need.

In April, the Government of Canada announced as part of Canada’s Economic Action Plan that it is providing $400 million in additional funding over the next two years to support on-reserve housing. These funds are dedicated to new social housing projects, the remediation of existing social housing and complementary housing activities through programming from CMHC and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). This funding will also provide an economic stimulus for many First Nations and rural areas by creating jobs, developing skilled trades and supporting small businesses.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 60 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable, and affordable homes — homes that will continue to create vibrant and healthy communities and cities across the country.

TREB President’s Column as it appears every Friday in the Toronto Sun’s Resale Homes and Condos section.

February 24, 2012 — As we start to see February come to an end, I would like to take a snapshot look at the resale housing market this year so far. Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 3,206 sales through the TorontoMLS system through the first 14 days of February 2012 – that is up by more than nine per cent compared to the 2,933 sales reported during the same period in 2011.  New listings on the TorontoMLS system were up by 13 per cent over the same period.

The GTA resale home market became better supplied during the first 14 days of February.  So if growth in new listings continues to outstrip growth in sales this year, competition between home buyers will ease.  More balanced market conditions on a sustained basis would result in a lower annual rate of price growth later in 2012.

The average selling price during the first 14 days of February was $491,493 – that’s up by nine per cent compared to the first 14 days of February 2011.  On average, sellers received 99 per cent of their asking price and their homes were on the market for an average of 25 days.

I asked TREB’s Senior Manager of Market Analysis Jason Mercer to give us his perspective on the numbers so far.

“Both buyers and sellers are aware of the substantial competition that exists for most listings in the GTA.  There is not a mismatch in expectations, so homes sell quickly at close to the asking price,” said Mr. Mercer.

I look forward to bringing you regular updates on the market in the coming months, and certainly as we enter into spring, a very busy time for the resale housing market.

Richard Silver is President of the Toronto Real Estate Board, a professional association that represents 32,000 REALTORS® in the Greater Toronto Area.

TORONTO, ON, June 9, 2009 — The Government of Canada and the Province of Ontario are partnering on a joint investment to build new and renovate existing affordable housing. This investment will help create jobs, strengthen the economy, and improve the quality of life for residents of Ontario.

Both levels of government officially signed an amendment to the Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program Agreement, resulting in a joint investment of more than $1.2 billion over the next two years.

The Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and Minister Responsible for Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the Honourable Jim Watson, Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, made the announcement today.

“This government is working hard to support Canadians during these challenging economic times, and we are moving aggressively to ensure Canada’s Economic Action Plan is implemented rapidly,” said Minister Finley. “We are helping the most vulnerable, including seniors and persons with disabilities, access suitable, affordable housing, as well as making needed renovations to existing social housing both in Ontario and across Canada.”

“The McGuinty government is pleased to be working with our federal partners to increase the supply of affordable housing,” said Minister Watson. “This investment will stimulate our economy while improving access to safe, healthy and affordable housing. For many people, living on fixed or low incomes, these programs are their opportunity to get a place to call home.”

Today’s announcement includes federal funding of $535 million over two years under Canada’s Economic Action Plan as part of a one-time investment of more than $2 billion to build new and renovate existing social housing in Canada. The Province will also contribute $535 million for these initiatives, over the next two years.

These investments build upon the $1.9 billion commitment for housing and homelessness programs announced by the Government of Canada in September 2008, which extended the Affordable Housing Initiative and the renovation programs for low-income households for two years.

Overall, the federal contribution from these investments is $622 million, while the Province is contributing a further $622 million for the combined investment of more than $1.2 billion.

CMHC has been Canada’s national housing agency for more than 60 years. CMHC is committed to helping Canadians access a wide choice of quality, affordable homes and making vibrant and sustainable communities and cities a reality across the country.

Investments in Affordable Housing for Canadians

The Government of Canada’s commitment to affordable housing is significant.

Overall, Canada’s Economic Action Plan provides a total of $7.8 billion to build quality housing, stimulate construction, create jobs, encourage home ownership and enhance the energy efficiency of Canadian homes. In the process, it will provide new and renovated housing for more than 200,000 Canadian households.

Of the $7.8 billion, more than $2 billion is provided through CMHC to build new and renovate existing social housing. This will include:

• $1 billion for social housing renovation;
• $600 million for new housing and repairs to existing social housing on-reserve and in the North broken down as follows:
  • $400 million for on-reserve communities
  • $200 million for the North
• $400 million for housing for low-income seniors; and
• $75 million for housing for people with disabilities.

Most of this funding, $1.525 billion of the more than $2 billion, is being delivered by provinces and territories through amendments to existing agreements. Provinces and territories will design and deliver these initiatives, as well as cost-match the federal investment.

The federal government will directly deliver the remaining $550 million of this $2 billion funding: $150 million for the renovation and retrofit of social housing projects administered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), and $400 million in new construction and repair for housing on-reserve through CMHC and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

These investments build upon the $1.9 billion commitment for housing and homelessness programs announced by the Government of Canada in September 2008, which extended the Affordable Housing Initiative and the renovation programs for low-income households for two years. Overall, for both the stimulus funding and the AHI extension, the federal contribution is $622 million, while the Province is contributing a further $622 million for the combined investment of more than $1.2 billion.

In addition, as part of the two-year extension of the renovation programs, $73 million in federal funding will be available to assist low income households with needed renovations to their homes.

As well, up to $2 billion in low-cost repayable loans for housing-related infrastructure projects will be made available to towns and cities across the country.

The Government of Canada, through CMHC, spends approximately $1.7 billion annually to support almost 625,000 low- and moderate-income households in existing social housing across Canada. In Ontario, the federal government provides almost $739 million annually to support some 238,500 households.

Today’s announcement recognized the ribbon-cutting of a 2-unit project in Tweed. The project is sponsored by developers Chris Zavos and Adam Zegouras and received $140,000 under the Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program. The units will be occupied by low-income individuals.

“Hastings County is pleased to have been a partner in ensuring more affordable housing for our residents,” said Warden Emond. “There continues to be an urgent need for affordable housing in Hastings County, and the opening of these two new units will definitely encourage those who remain on our waiting lists for affordable housing.”

The Canada – Ontario Affordable Housing Program comprises a commitment of $301 million from each of the two senior levels of government. In total, the federal, provincial and municipal governments will invest at least $734 million in the program, which will provide affordable housing for up to 20,000 households in Ontario.

Last fall, the Government of Canada committed more than $1.9 billion over the next five years to improve and build new affordable housing and to help the homeless.

LONDON, June 25, 2009 — Representatives from the Government of Canada and the Unity Project for Relief of Homelessness joined today to celebrate the completion of renovations of a 10-unit transitional housing complex and a 43-bed shelter. These housing units will provide support services to residents, helping them to develop new skills and turn a new page in their lives.

“The Government of Canada is committed to making affordable housing available in Ontario and across Canada for those who need it most,” said MP Ed Holder. “These projects are helping men and women in London access safe and suitable housing, and build a stronger future for themselves.”

Through CMHC, the Government of Canada provided $166,663 towards the 10-unit project and $95,410 towards the 43-bed project, under the Shelter Enhancement Program. This program assists in repairing, rehabilitating and improving existing shelters for women and their children, youth or men who are victims of family violence, and provides financial assistance for the acquisition or construction of new shelters and second-stage housing where needed.

“We are deeply grateful for the generous support received allowing us to make our unique property an effective facility for emergency shelter and our transitional housing programs,” said Charlene Lazenby, General Manager and founding member of the Unity Project for Homelessness in London.

Since 2001, the Unity Project has provided at-risk individuals with emergency shelter and transitional housing. The shelter’s employees work with each resident to establish a personal action plan to help bring stability and independence in their life.

As Canada’s national housing agency, CMHC draws on more than 60 years of experience to help Canadians access a variety of quality, environmentally sustainable and affordable homes — homes that will continue to create vibrant, healthy communities and cities across the country.
