Concerning the budget for the programs and their renewal, we hailed the fact that funding had been allocated for new social housing. However, we must take into account the limited opportunities that it represents.
If we add the various amounts for the announcements made in the fall, the extension of the affordable housing initiative and the provisions of the new budget, we see that this funding will allow the Government of Quebec to subsidize 2,600 units over two years. Yet Quebec currently has 448,000 tenant households that are paying rent that is above the standard.
