Background

This report is a summary of the Regional Tripartite Housing Committee’s (RTHC) activities during the year 2018-2019 as well as the main orientations that will guide its actions in 2019-2020.

The RTHC regroups representatives from the Assembly of First Nations Quebec-Labrador (AFNQL), Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). The Committee is, in its current form, since 2005. Its mission is to make recommendations to the respective authorities of the three parties for the purpose of promoting housing conditions of First Nations members.

The RTHC activities are governed by a framework which provides for the holding of at least 3 meetings per year. The Committee identifies regional issues and ensures their monitoring with an action plan that is approved at the beginning of the year. The Committee counts on partnership, dissemination of information to First Nations communities and organizations, exchanges of views and networking in order to advance the files of mutual concern.

The Committee's Action Plan was completely renewed in 2018. It is part of the Draft Regional Strategy, which itself stems from the engagement initiated in the context of housing and infrastructure reform. The Action Plan is made up of 3 components that integrate all the issues of the previous plans:

1. More skills and capacities at all levels, with innovation; 2. More funds and more financing options, with innovation; 3. More First Nations autonomy, with innovation.

Implementation of the Programs Related to the 2018 Federal Budget

Collaboration in the implementation of the programs related to the funds for housing from the 2018 federal budget (years 2 and 3, 2019-2021) is intended to ensure that information is shared with First Nations and

organizations. There is also a need to prepare the ground for possible reallocation of national funds. Such reallocations have taken place in the past, and the region has been able to benefit from it because of, among other things, a well-established action plan.

Continuation of Initiatives Already Embarked Upon Continued partnership with the organizations that are involved in the implementation of projects related to capacity building in First Nations housing.

– Training program for housing managers (attestation of collegial studies) and implementation of a community of practice in housing (CoPH)

– Pilot project for a housing technical resource group (HTRG)

– Regional housing tables

– Review of the terms and conditions of the Ministerial Loan Guarantees Program to make them accessible to ABSCAN

– Lot development trust fund administered by ABSCAN

The Committee will finish preparing complementary tools on its communication strategy. The tools will be implemented throughout the year.

Strategic Watch The RTHC remains on the lookout for any development related to issues that might be of interest for the region, and will make any necessary recommendations (i.e.: reform of the housing program, reallocation of funds under the 2018 budget).
