Community contribution

To qualify for assistance, a project must receive financial support from the community. The community contribution may be from the municipality, a charitable organization, a private company, a public fundraising campaign, etc. It may also be non-financial, for example a gift of land or a building, a tax credit, etc. 

Financial contribution by the Société d’habitation du Québec

The financial assistance takes the form of a loan that becomes a subsidy once the organization has met the conditions of the operational agreement signed with the Société d'habitation du Québec.

Additional financial assistance may also be granted as follows:

• up to $5,000 per housing unit for the cost of adaptations to make it suitable for use by the disabled;

• up to $ 2,250 per housing unit, where the organization involved is unable to borrow the full amount needed for the work; 

• Up to $4,000 per dwelling, for projects in *remote regions and municipalities with a population of less than 2,500 people.

* Remote regions : Abitibi-Témiscamingue, Côte-Nord, Gaspésie–Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Nord-du-Québec.

In addition, the Société d’habitation du Québec guarantees the first mortgage contracted by the organization with a financial institution certified under the program. Normally, this would be a loan amortized over a 25-year period.
