The Social Housing Services Corporation (SHSC) (2002-2012) operated in the Province of Ontario, Canada to provide group services for social housing providers (public housing, non-profit housing and co-operative housing) following the downloading of responsibility for over 270,000 social housing units to local municipalities. SHSC was a non-profit corporation governed by a board of municipal, non-profit and co-op housing representatives. Its mandate was to provide Ontario housing providers and service managers with bulk purchasing, insurance, investment and information services that add significant value to their operations. The Social Housing Reform Act, 2000 was criticized by housing advocates such as the Advocacy Centre for Tenants in Toronto (ACTO) for its "lack of commitment to funding for new affordable housing." It was replaced by the ''Housing Services Act, 2011'' , a "cornerstone of the Ontario's long-term affordable housing strategy.〔http://www.acto.ca/en/law-reform-advocacy/social-housing-tenant-issues/housing-services-act.html〕 Its successor, Housing Services Corporation (HSC) addresses the evolving needs of its clients under the revised Housing Services Act.〔https://www.hscorp.ca/about-hsc/who-we-are/〕 "HSC builds on SHSC’s 9 years of experience in delivering programs to social housing and working with different levels of government, the public and the private sector."〔https://www.hscorp.ca/about-hsc/who-we-are/〕 == History == The History of SHSC For a decade, the SHSC, offered a dedicated insurance program for social housing providers, bulk gas purchasing and an innovative energy efficiency retrofit program which coordinated energy audits, expertise, funding, bulk purchasing of energy-efficient goods, training and education, and data evaluation through its three subsidiaries—SOHO Tenant Insurance, SHSC Financial Inc. and GLOBE (Green Light on a Better Environment). SHSC managed and provided investment advice to housing providers on capital reserves valued at more than $390 million. Working closely with other housing sector organizations and non-governmental organizations, SHSC also supported and developed independent housing-related research.The Social Housing Services Corporation was created in January 2002 and officially began its mandate on May 1, 2002. SHSC was created as an independent corporation under the Social Housing Reform Act, 2000〔https://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/repealedstatutes/english/elaws_rep_statutes_00s27_e.htm#BK173〕 to provide housing-related services for municipal service managers and social housing providers across Ontario. The Social Housing Reform Act, 2000 was repealed in 2012. In 1997, the Government of Ontario announced that social housing programs (public housing, non-profit housing and rent supplement programs) administered by the province would be devolved to the municipal level under an initiative called Local Services Realignment. In 2000, the province passed legislation to devolve social housing to the municipal level. This legislation, the (Housing Reform Act, 2000 ), established the Social Housing Services Corporation to administer certain programs province-wide on behalf of service managers and social housing providers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Social Housing Services Corporation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
