Episode Details

Montreal’s housing crisis just got a major boost—with 1,650 new affordable units poised to break ground within a year, part of eight federal-funded projects currently under review. The biggest developments include 374 homes on the former Molson factory site and 477 units in the Namur-Hippodrome district. Quebec’s Housing Minister Karine Boivin Roy, alongside city and federal officials, unveiled the plan as part of a broader push to tackle housing shortages. Meanwhile, three additional federally approved projects—adding 109 units total—can begin construction immediately, including a women’s homelessness network, a Notre-Dame Street East development, and emergency housing in Pierrefonds.
