There are worries that the government-ordered Ernst & Young review of BC Housing, often called a forensic audit in media reports, will subject their work to attacks once again
People in B.C.’s non-profit housing sector are both apprehensive and desperately hopeful about the impending release of a comprehensive review of the province’s housing agency. They are worried that the government-ordered Ernst & Young review of BC Housing, often called a forensic audit in media reports, will subject their work to attacks once again.
And Catherine Hume, the CEO of another of the province’s top five non-profits, RainCity Housing and Support Society, also expressed concerns about the review and the public possibly fostering a negative impression of groups that have been asked to address the increasingly high numbers of homeless people, as well as people with severe mental-health or drug-use issues.
An earlier review of the agency, ordered by David Eby when he was the housing minister, set off a round of public criticism last June when its final report was released. The review concluded that multimillion-dollar contracts had been given to some organizations without a “rigorous” process and with no clear documentation, particularly in the women’s housing and supportive-housing programs.
Ms. Vonn and other non-profit leaders, who have started communicating with each other more often in recent weeks in anticipation of another round of negative coverage when the Ernst & Young review comes out, say they’ve received a very broad summary of the issues addressed in the review.
