Quebec to build 500 affordable housing units under new agreement

The governments of Canada and Québec have announced the immediate launch of a request for qualifications by the Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ) to design and build 500 highly prefabricated housing units across the province. This initiative, part of the Canada–Quebec Agreement under the Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF), is supported by a $900 million contribution from each government, aiming to create 8,000 social and affordable housing units in Quebec.

 

Selected consortia will work closely with the SHQ to finalize designs, with construction expected to begin in 2026. This project aims to address the growing need for affordable housing amidst labor shortages and rising construction costs.
