9. What Steps Have Been Taken? 2006 – National study on Impact of Expiry of Operating Agreements resulting in a report titled ‘Was Chicken Little Right?’ Copy available on the CHRA web-site. Development of Templates (CHRA) to help providers determine viability of their projects and enable them to test remedies Joint awareness effort – Province has offered sessions on Expiry at NBNPHA annual conferences since 2005.

10. What Else is Being Done? Injection of Stimulus Funds to rejuvenate and undertake necessary repairs to affected housing projects – over $37,000,000 will be spent in 3 years. - Priority is being given to those with earlier expiry dates.

11. CHRA Study Results Two key findings: Most Pre’86 projects will be viable Post’85 projects will need to implement remedies to ensure viability because of high % of RGI units

12. How Do YOU Prepare? Evaluate your project

14. If Not this is a warning flag e.g. Mortgage Payment – Subsidy = potential viability $98,817 - 29,352 = $69,465 (surplus)

15. Evaluate Your Project (Template) Test # 2– Determine Net Operating Income (NOI) - Current NOI and NOI at Expiry (NOI = Cash flow excluding mortgage payments and subsidy revenue)

17. A building condition assessment is RECOMMENDED

18. Comprehensive Replacement Plan (www.nbnpha-alsblnb.ca)

19. Possible Remedies Assess potential to raise rents Reduce subsidy requirements by selecting tenants/members requiring shallower subsidy Shift units from RGI to market rent

20. Possible Remedies (continued) Evaluate feasibility of repair loan from private lender (bank) Government programs may provide a source of additional funding
