Notices for Housing Providers

The Social Housing Reform Act 2000 allows Service Managers flexibility to establish local policies to accommodate local needs and priorities. Niagara Regional Housing acts as Service Manager on behalf of Niagara Region. All local policies established by us are communicated to Housing Providers through a notice. Each notice is dated and numbered according to the date of issue. The top right-hand corner of the notice indicates whether the policy is mandatory under the Social Housing Reform Act 2000 or is for information purposes only.

Housing Providers are required to amend their policies/procedures in accordance with mandatory notices if they are not already in compliance. We recommend that all notices be kept in a binder for future reference by staff, auditors, board members, tenant/members and other interested parties.

If you have any questions regarding any of the notices, please contact your Housing Administrator.
