MONTREAL – The city has announced plans to build 103 new low income housing units.
The homes will be built in the Sud-Ouest borough in the shadow of the Turcot Interchange.
The units will replace a building that is being torn down to make way for the new super structure.
The housing project will cost almost $25 million with funding shared between the province, the city and a social housing group.
“We need to address the Montreal situation vis-à-vis social housing and the affordable housing,” said Montreal mayor Denis Coderre, who was accompanied by several Quebec cabinet ministers.
“If we want to have more families to be retained here we have to think about that too.”
Construction on the homes will begin next year and are scheduled to be delivered by 2019.
