Quebec moving day could see record number of tenants without somewhere to live
According to the most recent annual report by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, published last February, around 30 municipalities in Quebec have vacancy rates below one per cent.On Wednesday, Quebec announced it will increase a financial assistance program for low-income households starting Oct. 1.
“There is absolutely no reason for people to sleep in the street tonight if those people call the emergency teams of our housing offices,” Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Andree Laforest said in an email, adding that the government has set aside a record amount of money to provide “immediate assistance for tenants in need.”However, Laflamme said the government isn’t getting to the root of the problem.
