VANCOUVER — The CEO of British Columbia housing operator the Atira Women's Resource Society is stepping down after an audit found a conflict of interest over her marriage to the former head of Crown social housing provider BC Housing.
Elva Kim, who chairs the board of Atira, which is BC Housing's largest housing operator, says in a statement that she's confident Abbott's resignation will allow Atira to continue its work with"fewer distractions."
A forensic audit by Ernst and Young found mismanagement, risk to public dollars and violations of conflict-of-interest rules at BC Housing related to former chief executive Shayne Ramsay, who is Abbott's husband. "The board and staff at Atira are deeply committed to serving and protecting women and children and providing much-needed housing," Kim says.
