Construction is underway on a $159.9-million affordable housing project in Montreal’s Saint-Michel neighbourhood.
Federal, provincial and municipal officials joined the Black Communities Housing Society on Friday for a ceremony for the Angélique-Latimer Complex, which will be built on Saint-Michel Boulevard.
The project will include 281 housing units, including 230 affordable units designed for families in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough. It will also feature community spaces and commercial areas.
Up to 161 households could qualify for the Société d’habitation du Québec’s Rent Supplement Program, allowing eligible tenants to spend no more than 25 per cent of their income on rent.
“This project reflects our government’s commitment to increasing the supply of affordable housing and helping more families access safe, quality home. It is also a great example of what can be achieved when governments, municipalities, and community organizations work together. I would like to congratulate the Black Community Housing Society and all of our partners involved for their leadership and dedication. Today, we’re building stronger communities and creating more housing opportunities for Quebecers,” said Quebec Housing Minister Karine Boivin Roy.
The Black Communities Housing Society says the Angélique-Latimer Complex is the first of several planned projects as it works toward creating 1,500 new housing units across Quebec by 2029.
