Head of Toronto Community Housing placed on paid leave
(The Star Food)
 


The head of Toronto’s embattled public housing provider has been placed on administrative leave and an outside firm has been called in to review a consulting contract that the housing corporation’s board found was awarded through a “flawed” process. Kathy Milsom had been appointed to the role of chief executive officer for the Toronto Community Housing Corporation last August. The news that the decision had been made to place her on paid leave was made through a press release sent out on Monday afternoon, with a statement from the housing provider’s board. The board also announced the immediate termination of a close to $1.3 million contract with Orchango, a management consultant agency brought on to help with the reorganization of the housing corporation. An employee who oversaw the request for proposal (RFP) or application process for the contract has also been placed on paid leave, the board said. Law firm Bennett Jones will conduct the review, a spokesperson for the housing provider confirmed. The firm will examine how a process the board learned “was flawed and did not follow existing TCHC regulations” was used to award the contract, according to the release. The existence of the contract and its value was first reported by the Toronto Sun. “We hold ourselves to higher standards and, as a result, the board has directed TCHC to terminate the contract with Orchango effective immediately,” the board said. “We remain committed to transparency regarding this process and will keep our employees, tenants and the public updated on a resolution to this matter.”Read more:Prospective tenants using social media photos to help with ‘nightmarish’ Toronto housing searchHome-sharing watchdog warns of ‘ghost hotels’GTA buyers behind 70 per cent house price increase in Hamilton area in past five yearsOf the decision to put Milsom and the employee on leave the board said, “This is ...
