Social housing advocates say Quebec needs to invest more to lift province out of housing crisis
According to advocates, of the 14,000 units promised by the CAQ government back in 2018, only one third of them have been completed. And the need for more, they say, is massive.
In addition, with rising inflation and high construction costs, they say the province needs to invest more in AccèsLogis Québec, which subsidizes affordable housing.“We are in a housing crisis and we don’t understand why this money to help these housing units to be built isn’t coming,” said Claire Garnier of Fédération des OSBL d’habitation de Montréal .
