Atira Women's Resource, the largest non-profit housing provider in British Columbia, refused to fire CEO Janice Abbott over conflict-of-interest allegations.
British Columbia’s Housing Minister says each contract up for renewal with Atira Women’s Resource will be scrutinized and may be given to other organizations after the agency refused to fire its chief executive over conflict-of-interest allegations.
Mr. Seckel’s letter was written as the result of a forensic investigation that found former CEO of BC Housing Shayne Ramsay breached conflict-of-interest rules when he gave the housing agency staff explicit directions to give contracts to Atira, which is run by his wife, Ms. Abbott. The investigation also noted what it said were multiple problems with financial reporting and property purchases by Atira.Mr.
In spite of that difference, Mr. Kahlon said he and the public have lost confidence in Atira and that changes have to be made. The City of Vancouver says that Atira has about 10 building projects in the pipeline, some under way and others still at the inquiry stage. BC Housing confirmed two of the building projects, both transition houses for women, are going ahead.Mr. Coleman said Thursday that, even though he was handling a much more serious situation 10 years ago with PHS, then the Portland Hotel Society, he wanted to maintain some stability for an organization that was caring for a very needy group.
The Atira investigation report done by Ernst & Young, released Monday, has set off a cascade of concerns and reactions.
