Montreal gets more than $17 million in federal funding for 270 affordable homes across four projects

The federal government announced on October 26, 2026, an investment of more than $17 million to support the construction and renovation of 270 housing units in Montreal across four separate projects. The announcement was made at the site of the Loggia Beaubien project in the borough of Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie by Caroline Desrochers, Member of Parliament for Trois-Rivieres and Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Housing and Infrastructure, on behalf of Minister Gregor Robertson.

Loggia Beaubien: 47 units, due in 2027

The Loggia Beaubien project receives $11 million from the federal government through the Affordable Housing Fund. Designed for families and small households, it will provide 47 affordable homes, with six units reserved for independent individuals with physical or intellectual disabilities, and is due for completion in 2027. Its operator, Habitations communautaires Loggia, said the new building will provide quality, accessible homes for 47 families and small households in the neighbourhood.

Three renovation projects

The other three projects renovate existing homes. The Cooperative d'habitation Le Retour a l'ecole is nearing completion of a major renovation of its heritage building, originally built in 1929, covering the building envelope, window replacement, bathroom renovations and upgrades to the electrical, plumbing and ventilation systems and the elevator; it receives $3.6 million federally, plus $423,086 from the co-operative. Repairs at the Coteau Vert housing co-operative target 95 units housing some 300 residents aged from 6 months to 75 years, with $1.42 million federally and $500,000 from the co-operative. SHAPEM's Habitations du Trentenaire covers four residential buildings totalling 90 units, also in Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie, for low-income and very low-income households, with $1.3 million federally.

Homes and jobs, the government says

Desrochers said the projects will provide more safe and affordable housing for some of Montreal's most vulnerable residents, and are another step toward an economy that works for everyone. The government said housing investments also help strengthen Canadian supply chains and create jobs at every step of the homebuilding process. The Affordable Housing Fund was a $16.1-billion National Housing Strategy program, now closed to new applications; as of June 2026 the federal government had committed $15.83 billion through it, supporting the creation of over 61,922 units and the repair of over 173,000 units.
