Applicant and Tenant Review

The Social Housing Review Panel provides an independent review of certain decisions made by a housing provider or Access to Housing. Applicants and tenants may request a review if they disagree on decisions about their:

• Eligibility for rent-geared-to-income (RGI) assistance,
• Amount of RGI housing charge/rent payable,
• Size and type of RGI unit or mandate of building;
• Priority on the centralized waiting list;
• Eligibility for special needs housing.

The Social Housing Review Panel requires that both parties have made attempts to resolve the matter before a review is required. Tenants must complete an internal review with their housing provider before requesting a review from the Social Housing Review Panel.

Submit your completed, signed Social Housing Review Panel Information Sheet(PDF, 173.72 KB) and supporting documents by fax, mail or in person within 10 business days of receipt of the Notice of Decision / Internal Review you want reviewed.

You will be contacted with the date, time and location of the review. Please note the Housing Provider or Access to Housing will also have the same opportunity to meet with the Review Panel and provide any supporting documentation relating to the decision.

The Review will be scheduled within 10 business days of receiving your request and you will be informed in writing of the Review results within five business days of the Review. Decisions of the Social Housing Review Panel are final. There is no further opportunity to appeal final decisions.

You may withdraw your request for a Review by making a written request prior to the completion of the Review.
