On Thursday morning, the City of Montreal announced a financial commitment of $25,110,800 to construct 350 affordable housing units in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood. The announcement was made by Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada and outlined a partnership with the Société de développement Angus to manage the project.
The allocated funds are earmarked specifically for the development of new residential units that will be offered at affordable rates to residents of the area. By targeting 350 units, the city aims to expand the supply of housing that meets income‑based eligibility criteria, addressing a gap identified in municipal housing strategy.
Mayor Martinez Ferrada highlighted that the investment reflects the city’s broader effort to increase affordable housing options across Montreal. The partnership with the Société de développement Angus, a local development organization, will oversee the planning, construction, and allocation processes, ensuring that the new homes are built in accordance with municipal standards and timelines.
The Rosemont–La Petite‑Patrie district, known for its mixed‑use character and growing population, will receive the new units within the existing urban fabric. The project is part of a series of initiatives launched by the city this year to meet rising demand for affordable housing and to support residents facing high rental costs.
Details of the construction schedule, site locations, and eligibility criteria for prospective tenants were not disclosed at the time of the announcement. The city indicated that further information will be released as the project moves forward, with the goal of making the units available to qualified applicants in the near future.
This funding marks a significant addition to Montreal’s affordable housing portfolio, reinforcing the municipal commitment to provide more accessible living options for low‑ and moderate‑income families in the city.
