Between April 2024 and March 2025, the shelter offered housing to 100 people in units it owns directly or manages. Montreal estimates that with this money, the groups can expand their operations to add roughly 6,300 units in the city that will be offered below market rates. Rabouin's party, Projet Montréal, wants to see affordable housing take up 20 per cent of the city's housing stock by 2050. Right now, affordable units — including co-ops and social housing — takes up about seven per cent, Rabouin said. The two other groups that received money are Interloge Centre-Sud, which got $600,000, and Corporation Mainbourg, which received $500,000.
