Overview
- The city named Old Mission Brewery ($400,000), Gérer son quartier ($500,000), Interloge Centre‑Sud ($600,000) and Corporation Mainbourg ($500,000) as recipients.
- Old Mission Brewery says the funding will enable 237 additional units by 2028, nearly doubling the apartments it can offer people leaving homelessness.
- Gérer son quartier’s board president says the grant will let the group double its owned units from roughly 1,000 to 2,000 within two years.
- Officials cite Vienna’s housing model as a guide for expanding municipally linked, below‑market supply through nonprofit operators.
- Affordable units make up about seven percent of Montreal’s housing stock, and Projet Montréal targets 20 percent by 2050, with Luc Rabouin saying he would seek a $5‑million envelope next year if re‑elected.
