Committee Motion 72-16(2) Risk Management Component in NWT HC Strategic Plan (Committee Motion Carried)

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I move that this committee recommend that the Housing Corporation include a risk-management component and a strategic plan that identifies and analyzes the risk for the NWT Housing Corporation’s plan for specific actions with details addressing the identified risks, include measures to report on the success of the action plan, and evaluate how the risks are mitigated in a timely fashion.

The committee also recommends that a program evaluation of home ownership programs be carried out to verify how much existing programs can contribute toward the goal of self-reliance and the reduction of households with core housing needs; and further that such program evaluation be ongoing, timely and measurable against specific targets.

The committee further recommends that specific measures for monitoring and support will be tailored to the local housing organization’s needs based on a risk assessment of the compliance of existing policies, procedures, rent collection and financial management with the level of practical support, supervision, frequency and detail of these monitoring activities being tailored accordingly.

And furthermore, that the Housing Corporation report on these activities, targets and progress on their action plan and periodic status reports.

Motion’s in order. To the motion. Question has been called. Motion is carried.

Motion carried.
