The number of social housing units in Quebec needing major work has gone from 18,644 in 2020 to 25,974 in 2022
A tenant group is speaking out about the decrepit state of social housing in Quebec, which continues to deteriorate as the cost of repairs rise.
The number of units earning a D or E grade, indicating they need major work, has gone from 18,644 in 2020 to 25,974 in 2022. The group is accusing the province of breaking its promises and is calling on François Legault’s government to put up the $2.2 billion it had pledged for social housing repairs.
