Prince Edward Island Housing Corporation – Annual Report1

lîÉêîáÉï

The PEI Housing Corporation derives its authority from the Housing CorporationAct of 1993. The Housing Corporation assists in providing Islanders of low andmoderate incomes with access to safe, affordable and adequate housing.

The Housing Corporation shares its responsibility in the provision of housingservices with the Department of Social Services and Seniors and local FamilyHousing Authorities. The Corporation is responsible for the control of assets,liabilities and revenues. The Department of Social Services And Seniors isresponsible for the management of family housing through the local Family HousingAuthorities; liaison with the Federal Government on housing issues; overseeing theadministration of federal- provincial agreements and the delivery of most programs.

The Corporation works with many partners including the Canada Mortgage andHousing Corporation (CMHC), representing the Federal Government. CMHCprovides costsharing of provincial programs involving 1,700 units and directlyadministers another 900 federally funded social housing units. The Corporationmanages and delivers the Canada-PEI Affordable Housing agreement, signed in2003. Other partners of the PEI Housing Corporation include the manycommunity members who serve on the nine Family Housing Authorities Boardsacross the province. Seniors and other client groups, municipal representatives,non-profits, private sector developers, the construction industry, and tenants playan important partnership role in bringing affordable housing to Islanders.

Over the years numerous studies have shown a direct relationship between thehealth and well-being of a population and the availability of safe affordablehousing. Since the 1960's, through its social housing program, the province hasworked to maintain adequate housing for low and moderate income Islanders. Itis clear however the needs of Islanders are changing and the Corporationendeavours to respond to these changes with the creation of new units and themodernization of existing units.

The Federal/Provincial cost shared Social Housing Agreements support the rentalhousing needs of seniors, families and Islanders in need of housing. In light of theexpiration of these agreements in the near future, the Corporation may bechallenged to secure adequate funding to maintain and improve these facilities.


To meet the need for low income home owner renovations, the province and thefederal government jointly fund the Residential Rehabilitation Assistance Program(RRAP). This program is administered by the CMHC. The objective of theprogram is to assist low and moderate income homeowners to maintain theirresidences in good condition and to continue to live independently in their ownhome.

Les pouvoirs que détient la Société de logement de l’Île-du-Prince-Édouard luisont conférés en vertu de la Housing Corporation Act (1993). La Société delogement, une société d'hypothèques et de logement, permet d'offrir aux citoyensde l'Île-du-Prince-Édouard à revenu faible ou moyen l'accès à des logementssécuritaires, abordables et adéquats.

La Société de logement partage la responsabilité d'assurer des services delogement avec le ministère des Services sociaux et des Aînés et les conseilslocaux de logements familiaux. La Société est responsable de la gestion deséléments d'actifs et de passifs et, des revenus. Le ministère des Services sociauxet des Aînés est responsable de la gestion des logements familiaux parl'entremise des conseils de logements familiaux locaux; il entretient des relationsavec le gouvernement fédéral sur les questions liées au logement et voit à lagestion des ententes conclues avec le gouvernement fédéral et à la prestation dela majorité des programmes.

La Société collabore avec de nombreux partenaires, y compris la Sociétécanadienne d'hypothèques et de logement (SCHL), le représentant dugouvernement fédéral. La SCHL partage les coûts de programmes provinciauxvisant 1 700 unités et, en outre, elle gère directement 900 unités d'habitationsociales financées par le gouvernement fédéral. La Société gère l'EntenteCanada – Île-du-Prince-Édouard concernant le logement abordable, conclue en2003, et voit à son application. Parmi les autres partenaires de la sociétéd'hypothèques, on compte un grand nombre de membres de la collectivité quisiègent aux neuf conseils de logements familiaux à l'échelle provinciale. En ce quiconcerne le logement abordable pour les insulaires, la collaboration estprimordiale entre les aînés et autres groupes bénéficiaires, les représentantsmunicipaux, les organismes sans but lucratif, les promoteurs du secteur privé,l'industrie de la construction et les locataires.

Au fil des ans, de nombreuses études ont révélé qu'il existe un lien direct entre lasanté et le bien-être d'une population et la disponibilité de logements sécuritairesà prix abordables. Depuis les années 1960, par l'entremise de son programme delogement social, la province tâche de s'assurer que des logements convenablessont mis à la disposition des insulaires à revenu faible ou moyen. Cependant, ilest évident que ces derniers éprouvent des besoins changeants et la Société


tente de répondre à ceux-ci par la création de nouvelles unités et la remise enétat des logements existants.

Les ententes conclues entre les gouvernements fédéral et provincial visant lepartage des coûts relatifs aux logements sociaux contribuent à la locationd'habitations aux aînés, aux familles et aux insulaires qui en ont besoin. Vul'arrivée à terme de ces ententes dans un avenir proche, la Société trouverapeut-être difficilement le financement nécessaire pour assurer l'entretien etl'amélioration de ces installations.

Pour répondre aux besoins des propriétaires à faible revenu en matière detravaux de rénovation, les gouvernements fédéral et provincial financentconjointement le Programme d'aide à la remise en état des logements (PAREL).Ce programme est géré par la SCHL. L'objectif du programme consiste à aiderles propriétaires à revenu faible ou moyen à maintenir en bon état leursrésidences et à continuer de vivre de façon indépendante dans leurs propresmaisons.

The demand for Seniors Housing is strong in urban areas; however, the demandis stable or is declining in most rural areas. In the past year, 154 new tenantswere placed in Seniors’ Housing. This represented a 13.3% turn-over of tenants,a decline of 2.2% from the previous year. During the year 2006-2007expenditures net of income on the Seniors Housing program totalled $5,126,600.

The demand for Family Housing has remained steady with lengthy waiting lists inmost communities particularly in the Charlottetown and Summerside areas.Applications during the year totalled 268. There was a 22% turnover rate with 105 families placed, a slight improvement from 2005-2006. The active waiting listis 333 families slightly reduced from last year. The development of family housingoptions in response to this need remains a priority. The Canada-PEI AffordableHousing Agreement has generated additional units in an attempt to meet thisdemand. Expenditures on the Family Housing Program were $2,443,000 duringfiscal year 2006-2007.

In 2006-2007 there were 18 applications approved under the Home Adaptationsfor Seniors Independence Program for a total of $58,279.

Additionally, 50 homeowner, 57 disabled and 77 emergency repairs were approved through The ResidentialRehabilitation Assistance Program, totalling $1,519,918. This represented a one-time budget increase of $322,000 from previous year to reduce waiting lists.

The Canada-PEI Affordable Housing Agreement was signed on May 23, 2003. A supplementary agreement was signed in November 2005. Sixteen projects,representing 108 units have been approved since the signing of the Agreementand this represents a total value of $5,336,127 which was jointly supported by theAffordable Housing Agreement and community partners and investments.

In addition to operational funding, the Department’s Capital budget of $660,000was fully invested in modernization and improvements to our aging housingstock. It is anticipated this investment will continue for the foreseeable futuregiven the significant demands. We continue to seek further dialogue with thefederal government for long term sustainable funding for social housing needs.


The Province was also in receipt of $3,396,528 of Affordable Trust funding and$704,542 of Off Reserve Aboriginal Trust funding. These funds are to be investedto address affordable housing needs and decisions on their use will be made inthe coming year.
