CARRIED 7. CITY HOUSING STRATEGY, 2007-2012 COMMUNITY AND PROTECTIVE SERVICES COMMITTEE AND PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS AS AMENDED That Council: 1. Adopt the City Housing Strategy, 2007-2012 (to be issued separately and held on file with the City Clerk's Office). 2. Direct staff to implement the City Housing Strategy through the City Strategic Plan and to incorporate the strategies and directions of the City Housing Strategy into branch work plans and corporate policies and program development. 3. Direct staff to report back in one year on progress in implementing the City Housing Strategy. 4. That the following be added to Direction 3: Meeting the Need for Supports to Housing: (pg. 64 of the CHS) 3.9 Actions: Develop an integrated community development model to support social housing communities involving the City's social services, public health, recreation and culture, housing, police, and community partners. Context: The City has a leadership role to play in promoting better co-ordination across the diversity of sectors that provide housing support services. Internally following amalgamation the City has both the opportunity and responsibility to be effective in supporting low-income communities, particularly social housing communities. The City has a number of branches who provide support activities to these communities, and the opportunity now exists to better co-ordinate and integrate these activities through a community development model in order to make more effective use of the City's resources so to achieve healthy, sustainable, inclusive communities. 5. Add to Appendix One, under Direction Three - Evaluating Outcomes: (pg. 75 of CHS) M. Co-ordination of services/activities to achieve healthy, sustainable, inclusive communities): * Reduction in police service calls, 9-1-1 calls, for crisis intervention * Reduction in anti-social behaviour * Reduction in vandalism * Increase in participation in City recreational programs * Increase in employment participation * Increase in the civic participation, volunteer activities. 6. Whereas the City's Housing Strategy indicates: * Since 1996 94% of new housing in Ottawa has been ownership housing (50% single detached homes) only 6% was built as rental housing; * 37% of renter households (42,000 households in Ottawa) currently pay in excess of 30% of their income on housing, leaving insufficient funds for food, clothing and other essentials; * An Ottawa household currently needs more than two minimum wage jobs to afford the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment (2006 average 2-bedroom monthly rent $806; monthly affordable rent for 2 person on minimum wage $712); * The City has received inadequate funding to build affordable housing units directly. In 2004 the City established an annual target of building 500 affordable housing units for 10 years (under the Action Ottawa program). By 2007 the City had obtained funding for 586 units or 30% of its target by 2007, leaving a 70% gap; * Growth projections for Ottawa shows that Ottawa will grow from 2007 to 2021 by 9,300 households, but given housing market behaviour, 3,700 of these new households (40%) will face affordable housing challenges; ( The City of Ottawa's Official Plan sets a target of 25% of new homes to be affordable to the 40% income percentile. However, this target has not been met since adopted in 2003. In 2006, only 13.9% of ownership completions were affordable to households at the 40% income percentile (earning $58,000). For those at the 30% income percentile (earning $45,000) only 0.8% were affordable; Whereas it is clear that Ottawa's housing system does not work for those 140,000 households earning less than $58,000, that what is needed is a requirement that as new developments proceed, affordable housing be built as a component of the development, in order to assure better balanced communities with better social outcomes for working poor and their families; Whereas inclusionary housing policies are regulatory instruments used by provincial or state and local governments to encourage or require that new residential developments require a percentage of housing (usually 10-25%) that is affordable to moderate and low income households; Therefore be it resolved that a policy report on inclusionary housing be developed for Committee and Council consideration, including any necessary legislative changes. PLANNING AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION 7. Be it resolved that staff bring forward a report that secondary plans and community design plans be required to identify at least 7% of residential units for housing that will be affordable for people whose income is in the 25th income percentile and below.
