Montreal Mayor Valerie Plante and Quebec solidaire spokesperson Manon Masse warned that Montreal’s affordable housing shortage is going to get worse if more money isn’t made available
Montreal’s mayor and a provincial opposition party leader are warning that the city’s affordable housing shortage is going to get worse if more money isn’t made available.
Plante says Montreal has been waiting for the past four years for millions of dollars promised by the federal government to build 1,200 affordable housing units and renovate an additional 4,700 units. A coalition of housing committees and tenant associations in Quebec released a report over the weekend indicating that rents across the province increased by nine per cent between 2021 and 2022, reaching an average of $1,300 per month.
A study released last week by an association of home builders suggests Quebec is missing 100,000 homes, with more than 37,000 families on waiting lists to access subsidized housing.
