Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommend that in order to deliver the home ownership programs in a fair and equitable fashion and within economic means, the Housing Corporation monitor this district office to ensure policies are implemented and mortgages are collected.

The committee also recommends that a program evaluation of home ownership programs be carried out to verify how much existing programs contribute toward the goal of self-reliance and the reduction of households with core housing needs; and further, that such program evaluation be ongoing, timely and measurable against specific targets.

The committee further recommends that specific measures for monitoring and support be tailored to the local housing organization’s needs based on a risk assessment of the compliance with existing policies, procedures, rent collection and financial

management, with a level of practical support, supervision, frequency and detail of these monitoring activities being tailored accordingly.

And furthermore, the committee recommends that the Housing Corporation report on these activities, targets and progress in their action plan and periodic status reports.
