Mark your calendars: TCHC’s next major scandal is scheduled for Tuesday

The Toronto Community Housing Corporation has gone nearly a year without a headline-grabbing scandal, but the Star says that streak is about to end. The city’s ombudsman is planning to release a report on the social housing provider on Tuesday, and its contents are expected to threaten TCHC CEO Gene Jones’s job.

According to the Star, the report will cover hiring, firing and promotion practices under Jones’s leadership. It’s not clear what, exactly, the ombudsman’s office found during its investigation, but the Star‘s sources say there are several allegations of improprieties at TCHC’s highest levels. We already know that Jones has fired a lot of people.

Jones was previously a housing director in Detroit; he came to Toronto in mid-2012. If he loses his job, TCHC will have to install its fourth CEO since the start of Rob Ford’s mayoralty. That’s a direct result of one of Ford’s first acts as mayor: a clean-sweep of TCHC’s board and leadership, following an auditor’s report that found the corporation had spent money on things like staff christmas parties, and that it had failed to follow competitive procurement practices. To this day, Ford touts the TCHC purge, and Jones’ hiring, as one of his key accomplishments. Whether he’ll still be able to do that after Tuesday remains to be seen.
