On the internal waiting list to relocate? This is for you!

The new Membership Bylaw #84 passed in September 2023 and clarified some rules about relocating in the co-op. Please review this to see if it is in your best interests to update your relocation form.

Who will live in the new unit: To join a waiting list, the household must meet occupancy standards for the new unit – a minimum of one person per bedroom except a single person may have a 2-bedroom unit in the mid-rise or Wilton Street.

All prospective occupants of the requested unit must be listed on the Internal Relocation Application form. Members will be allocated a unit based on their household size when they are offered a unit and must meet Woodsworth’s occupancy standards. Applicants, please update Management on contact information and household names. Changing unit size or occupant names does not change your position on the waiting list.

New members who have joined as long-term guests or Turning 16s must be a member for two years before joining the internal waiting list. (Anyone already on the waiting list when the bylaw was approved on September 26, 2023 only needs to meet the old requirement of 1 year.)

Unit preferences: Applicants can put their names down for a maximum of two choices at any one time, for any units they qualify for. They can change their choices in writing without losing their position on the waiting list. Applicants may specify that they only wish to live in a particular area of the co-operative, a particular type of unit or a particular unit or units. Applicants are skipped over if the available unit does not meet the criteria selected by them.

Adding criteria does not give the household any priority for units. Being skipped for this reason does not count as a refusal. However adding special requests may delay being offered a unit.

Accepting or refusing a unit offer: If the co-operative is unable to contact the member next in line on the internal waiting list within three (3) business days, the unit will be offered to the next eligible member on the internal waiting list.

The original member will retain their position on the internal waiting list but the household will be considered to have refused the unit. The co-operative will maintain written records of the contacts made with each household including date and time of contact.

Households must notify Management within three (3) business days whether or not they wish to accept the unit. If they fail to do so, they will be considered to have refused the unit.

Households may refuse up to three units that have been offered and retain their position on the internal waiting list. When an applicant refuses three units that meet their own criteria on the relocation form, they will be moved to the bottom of all internal waiting lists.

Moving date when relocating: Once a member on the internal waiting list has accepted a unit, the member must move into the new unit on the date specified when the unit was offered. Members will be provided with at least thirty (30) days notice for an internal relocation.

For details about joining the waiting list and more, see the Membership Bylaw, Article 5.

The Internal Relocation Application form is part of the Membership Bylaw, Schedule E. There are copies in the Photocopy Room and on the here on the co-op website.

Priority internal waiting list and priority relocation

Extracts from the Membership Bylaw: Member Approval and Unit Allocation #84 related to the priority internal waiting list and relocation
Article 1.3 Special meanings

Priority waiting list
For members who have documented medical or disability accommodation needs, or in cases of severe financial
hardship, or domestic violence.

Article 4.1. Alternating between internal and external waiting lists

(a) The co-operative will fill vacancies alternately from the internal and external waiting lists unless there is someone with established special priority for that sized unit. See Article 5.2.1 about priority list.

(f) Only moves from the regular internal and external waiting lists count for alternating between internal and external wait lists. A priority move doesn’t count as an internal move. Allocation of wheelchair adapted units does not count as an internal or external move.


Article  5.2. Relocation requests with priority

Members living in Woodsworth may have priority on the internal waiting lists in certain circumstances.

Article 5.2.1. Priority Internal Waiting List

(a) Eligibility

In order to provide additional supports to individuals requiring it by virtue of their physical or mental disability, facing abuse, or financial hardship, members may be eligible for placement on a separate Priority Internal Waiting list. They may qualify if they are experiencing medical or disability accommodation needs, and in some circumstances, severe financial hardship, or domestic violence.

Those with financial issues must not be in arrears. See Article 5.1.2 (c)

The Occupancy Bylaw outlines the co-op’s response to domestic violence. Occupancy Bylaw, Article 7.4.

(b) Human Rights

Ontario Human Rights legislation and our Human Rights Bylaw have requirements about providing medical and disability accommodation. Such requests have a higher priority on the Priority Internal Waiting List than financial hardship or domestic violence requests.

(c) Applying for priority

Members wishing to request a priority move must fill out the Priority Move Application and then meet with the Woodsworth Manager.
In an accommodation-based priority move application, an Accommodation Request Form will also need to be filled out.

The priority waiting list is maintained by Management and is confidential. The Membership Committee is not involved in the priority waiting list.

The Board of Directors votes to approve or decline all priority move requests.

If the member qualifies for the an accommodation-based priority move, the Manager of the co-operative and the accommodation seeker and, where appropriate, one or more directors and any necessary health practitioners will work together cooperatively to develop an Accommodation Plan for the individual. If the member does not qualify for the Priority Waiting list, the member can fill out a Relocation Application to go on the main internal waiting list.

The Board of Directors will review and approve the accommodation plan.

(d) Unit offers

The member will be offered three opportunities to accept a unit based on their Accommodation Plan.
Once a move has been accepted, the priority status is removed. If necessary, the member can reapply for a priority move or through the normal internal waiting list.
See also Schedule F of this bylaw and Article 5.5.5 Refusals for priority internal waiting list

Article 5.2.2. Maintain number of units with housing charge subsidy

The Co-operative’s Agreement with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) requires that the co-operative provide subsidies for 25% of the units, if applicable.

If a unit becomes available and the number of households in the co-operative receiving subsidy is below the minimum number required in the co-operative’s Agreement with CMHC, Management may offer the unit if appropriately sized to someone on the waiting list who requires government subsidy or the Board may have to give applicants on the external waiting list subsidy priority over households on the internal waiting list in order to comply with CMHC’s requirements.

Article 5.2.3. Transfers based on Occupancy Bylaw, (Article 5.3 Damage by fire, etc.)

These household relocations may be given priority. Households entitled to be offered a unit under the provisions of the Occupancy Bylaw on fire or other damage, or sale of the co-operative may be offered a unit in the order in which they first became entitled to a new unit. See the Occupancy Bylaw

Article 5.2.4. Internal move requests that do not get priority on waiting lists

(a) Moves based on other bylaws
Occupancy Bylaw, Article 9.4, Not Meeting Minimum Household Size
and
Housing Charge Subsidy Bylaw, Article 2.5, Overhoused Households

These may require members to move. There are specific rules attached to each of these, but they do not get priority on the waiting list and must wait their turn to be offered a new unit. See the relevant bylaw.

(b) Special waiting list requests other than number of bedrooms
Units are offered by date order (Article 5.1.1)

Members may specify on their relocation request that they only wish to transfer to a particular type of unit, specific floor, or specific unit or group of units. They will be skipped if the available unit does not match their preference. However they are not given any priority when their preferred unit becomes available. They must be next on the waiting list when a match comes up for their preference. See Article 4 (h).

Article 5.2.5. Waiving residency requirements

There is no priority granted, only the waiving of the two (2) years minimum residency requirement in their unit before the household can join the internal waiting list.

The Board may also waive it for approved priority such as accommodation needs. See article 5.2.1 and Schedule F.

Article 5.5.5. Refusals for priority internal waiting list

Households that have been given special priority status for an internal move as defined in Article 5.2.1 (Priority Internal Waiting List) will be offered three (3) opportunities to accept a unit based on their Accommodation Plan.

After three refusals, the household will be removed from the priority waiting list.

If the household still wishes to relocate, they must apply through the normal internal waiting list procedures. Their position on the internal waiting list will be based on the date their application for a normal priority move was received.


Membership Bylaw, Schedule F: Woodsworth’s Criteria Guideline for Priority Moves

1. Members may be eligible for placement on a separate Priority Internal Waiting list if they are experiencing a Medical or Disability Accommodation needs, severe Financial Hardship, or Domestic Violence. See Article 5.2.1 Priority Internal Waiting List

2. By legal requirement, Medical and Disability Accommodation requests have priority. Applications regarding Financial Hardship or Domestic Violence will be processed on a first come, first serve basis.

3. The first step is to fill out the Priority Move Application and then meet with the Woodsworth Manager. This process is completely confidential. If the member does not qualify for the Priority Internal Waiting list, the member can fill out a Relocation Application to go on the main internal waiting list.

4. The Board of Directors will review and give final approval to the Accommodation Plan.

CRITERIA

Medical or Disability Accommodation

A request for a Priority Move due to Medical or Disability reasons must follow the Woodsworth’s Accommodation Policy for Residents with Disabilities based on the Ontario Human Rights Code. An Accommodation Request Form will also need to be filled out as part of this process.
The Co-op’s obligations are limited to accommodating disability-related needs, not members’ preferences.

The manager will request documentation from an appropriate health practitioner detailing the nature of the individual’s disability, any restrictions resulting from the disability, the expected duration of the restrictions, and the basis for the medical conclusions.

Each person’s situation will be individually assessed by the Co-op Manager. If the manager determines a current housing unit is detrimental to a member’s medical condition and a different unit is needed soon, then the member would qualify for the Priority Move waiting list.

The manager and member will go through the accommodation procedure together. The manager may propose other accommodation options that meet the member’s needs. If the member accepts an accommodation option other than priority relocation, the member can join the main internal waiting list requesting a different unit.

Management and the Co-op website can provide detailed information on the Woodsworth Accommodation Policy and the Accommodation Planning process.

Financial Hardship

If a member is experiencing severe financial hardship and has an urgent need for a less expensive unit, the member must present third-party financial or legal documents to the Co-op Manager as part of the application for a Priority Move.

Proof of severe financial hardship might include, but is not limited to the following documentation:
bankruptcy documents (filing documents, proof of claim etc.), creditors letters, bank statements, record for employment for job loss.
Those with financial issues must not be in arrears. See Article 5.1.2 (c)

Domestic Violence

Woodsworth’s Occupancy Bylaw #82, 7.3, defines violence against another person in the same household as domestic violence. 7.4a of Occupancy Bylaw states: The co-op does not tolerate domestic violence. It will try to
assist victims of domestic violence. Members who engage in domestic violence may be evicted.

If a member has experienced domestic violence, is no longer living with the abuser, yet fears for their safety by remaining in the same unit, they can request a Priority Move to another unit. Documentation may be required. Examples include a restraining order and a peace bond.
The Occupancy Bylaw outlines the co-op’s response to domestic violence. Article 7.4.
