DEPUTY CITY CLERK WAYNE THOMSON MAYOR ~:Township of Somerville Whereas the Ontario Home Renewal Program is designed to provide loans to homeowners to bring their dwelling units up to a minimum standard; and Whereas the maximum loan available under the program is $7500.00 for homeowners or $9,500.00 for physically disabled homeowners or homeowners with physically disabled relatives residing permanently.with them; and ?/ Whereas the maximum loan has remained in effect since the program inception in 1974 and is now in may cases an insufficient amount needed to upgrade homes to a minimum standard; Now therefore be it resolved that the AMO petition the Minister of Housing to raise the limit of the maximum loan available under the program to $15,000.00. Leg. & Res. Committee Recommendation: Supplementary Information: The Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP) was introduced in 1974 to assist homeowners in undertaking necessary repairs to their housing units. Municipalities participating in the program were required to establish an account fund of OHRP and to deposit in the fund all provincial advances, all moneys received in repayment of loans, and all interest accruing. This would result in a revolving fund which would enable municipalities to continue participation in the program for years to come. Despite the success and popularity of the program, and the continuing demand for additional funds, the province began reducing advances to municipalities by 50% or more from 1980 until funding was discontinued in 1983-84. At that time, AMO reacted strongly to the discontinuing of funding and requested an additional $60 million in funding. AMO further recommended that the province review the maximum income requirement to be eligible for an OHRP loan and the maximum income requirement to be eligible for an OHRP grant. Since funding was discontinued, a situation developed whereby some municipalities exhausted their revolving funds while others had accumulated fairly large reserves. Municipalities with large reserves curtailed or cut off the grant portion of their loans in order to ensure a viable revolving fund. In 1985, the Association adopted a resolution requesting redistribution of cash balances established under the OHRP Program to those municipalities in need of additional funding. The Housing Ministry later announced that it would redirect funds already allocated under the OHRP from inactive to active municipalities. In February of this year, ihe MiniS?r9 of Housing released "Ontario Home Renewal .Program Guidelines Review: Discussion Paper". The discussion paper recommends an ~ncrease in the maximum loan amount to $12,000. Office of the Minister Bureau du Ministre Ontario Ministry Ministare of du Housing Logement July 13, 1993 JUt 0FFI}CE 0F MA'Y'O FOfqt THE INFORMATION 0_F_, ,c:_rr,r COUNGLL 777 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M5G 2E5 416/585-7111 777, rue Bay Toronto (Ontario) M5G 21=5 416/585-7111 To All Heads of Council: As you are aware, on May 19th, the Minister of Finance announced the Province's intention to discontinue the Ontario Home Renewal Program (O.H.R.P.) and recover unused funds from participating municipalities. The monies recovered from O.H.R.P. trust funds, approximately $40 million in 1993 alone, will'be applied to the important task of reducing public sector debt in Ontario. An amendment to Ontario Regulation 641 (formerly O.Reg. 506) of the Housinq Development Act which deals with the wind down of O.H.R.P., will come into effect July 16, 1993. As of this date, the Ontario Home Renewal.Program will end and no further loans will be issued under the program. Participating municipalities will be required to report outstanding trust accbunt balances to the Province within ninety days of July 16, 1993 and remit these funds before March 1, 1994. If your municipality is still active in the program, it is important to note that homeowners who have O.H.R.P. loans will not be affected by the cancellation of the program. Their terms of repayment remain the same. The municipality will be compensated an additional 5 percent on outstanding loans collected and remitted to the Province after March 1, 1994. As well, any interest earned on O.H.R.P. trust fund balances in the year before repayment, may be retained, for 1994 and ensuing years. /~ The Government recognizes that the Ontario Home Renewal Program has provided a worthwhile benefit to individual homeowners in communities across the province over its 20 year lifespan. In view of serious budgetary pressures, however, the Province has had to take a close look at each and every one of its services and programs, including transfer payments. The recall of inactive O.H.R.P. funds is viewed as one of the least painful means of reducing the burden of debt that impacts on all Ontario taxpayers. I am seeking your municipality's cooperation in working with Ministry officials in the 'return of inactive O.H.R.P. funds. Over the next few weeks, my staff will be providing more details about reporting and repayment requirements under the new regulation. Ottawa Centre Minister Disponible en fran~ais. C ttg iagara all .
