Historique

Ownership and administration of public and social housing, formerly in the hands of the Ontario Housing Corporation, was transferred to municipal control with the passage of the Social Reform Act, 2000. In 2002, the Ontario Housing Corporation effected the transfer of social housing administration to forty-seven municipal service managers. These major shifts in function were, after a transition period, accompanied by a change in the enabling legislation and in the name of the Corporation, resulting in the formation of the Ontario Mortgage and Housing Corporation in December, 2006.

The Ontario Mortgage and Housing Corporation consists of Board members appointed by Order in Council as recommended by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, and the Board reports to that Minister.

Statut légal

Fonctions et activités

The Ontario Mortgage and Housing Corporation (originally the Ontario Housing Corporation, renamed, with revised legislation and functions, in December 2006) carries out certain obligations associated with the financing of Ontario’s public housing programs. Its responsibilities are primarily financial in nature, arising from the corporation's former role in delivering government programs.

Specifically, it (a) undertakes debt servicing for the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation and for provincial debentures on public housing properties; (b) administers a revolving loan fund under the Home Ownership component of the Affordable Housing Program (in areas where this work is not done by Municipal Service Managers); (c) holds the Province’s liability for mortgage loan insurance, and its environmental liability on its former public housing properties under the Environmental Protection Act; and (d) administers social housing and student residence program loans.
