Phasing of Agency start-up
The plan for implementing the Agency has four anticipated stages.
- Phase I
June 2004 – December 2005
During this planning phase, CHF Canada’s team, under contract to CMHC, established the Agency and readied it for independent operations. CHF Canada developed performance standards, budgets and reporting requirements for the Agency, as well as the service agreement between the Agency and CMHC.
- Phase II
June 2005 – December 2006
After the service agreement had been executed, the Agency hired, completed all necessary arrangements to take over the first services from CMHC and began delivering those services.
- Phase III/IV
If all goes well, CMHC will transfer two final services:
- administering CMHC rent-supplement programs for co-ops in Alberta, Ontario and P.E.I.
- calculating the amount of assistance due to co-ops under their operating agreements
- Phase V
The Agency will launch the new benchmarking and best-practices service.
A service agreement between CMHC and the Agency was signed on May 3, 2005. An Agency CEO will be recruited and working in October 2005.The transfer of the first services from CMHC to the Agency will occur in February 2006.
