Summary
This report provides an update on the review of the Tenant Defence Fund (TDF), including a summary of the legislation for above-guideline rent increases across Canada to provide clarity on the legislative context for the program.
In undertaking the preliminary stages of Tenant Defence Fund review, staff have identified that it will be important for the review to be considered in the context of a number of other initiatives underway as part of Shelter, Support and Housing Administration's (SSHA) Housing Stability Service Plan, to ensure coordinated access to and effectiveness of tenant support services funded by Shelter, Support and Housing Administration.
Shelter, Support and Housing Administration will report back to Tenant Issues Committee in 2017 with further results of this review and recommendations for next steps.
