What they're lobbying on (3)Hide details
- Engagement with the Canada Revenue Agency, the Department of Finance, and other applicable federal officials regarding the administration of GST self-supply rules as they apply to non-profit, covenant-restricted affordable rental housing. This includes CRA approaches to determining fair market value where permanent, successor-binding affordability covenants restrict rents, tenant eligibility, refinancing, transfers, and operations; audit, reassessment, objection, and settlement practices; and potential administrative guidance or regulatory clarification under the Excise Tax Act to ensure GST administration aligns with Parliament’s intent to remove tax barriers to affordable rental housing supply.
- Engagement with Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada, Build Canada Homes, and other applicable federal officials regarding Catalyst’s potential participation in Build Canada Homes and the delivery of long-term affordable rental housing. This includes program design, delivery expectations, and alignment between federal housing supply objectives and the operational realities of non-profit affordable housing providers delivering covenant-restricted rental housing at scale.
- Engagement with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, HICC, BCH, and other related federal officials regarding federal financing and underwriting practices as they affect non-profit affordable housing providers. This includes the treatment and recognition of social-purpose or mission-aligned capital as equity and its impact on the ability of non-profit organizations to stack capital efficiently and deliver long-term, covenant-restricted affordable rental housing.
