Expiry of Operating Agreements Planning Guide now available!
BCNPHA and BC Housing have partnered to examine the expiry of operating agreements, and to develop tools and strategies to sustain the affordable housing stock and the non-profit sector.
The partners have recently produced a planning guide for non-profit societies. We’ve taken research on expiring agreements and turned it into a useful tool for housing providers to use as you plan for expiry. The guide outlines a step-by-step planning process, will help you explore your options pre- and post-expiry, provides information on the legal landscape of expiry, different models of shared services and mergers and tools to help you determine rent calculations.
