The City of Montreal announced on June 18, 2026 that it will allocate $25.1 million toward the development of 350 new affordable housing units at the Îlot Angus complex in the Rosemont‑La Petite‑Patrie neighbourhood.
The funding is earmarked specifically for the construction of the Îlot Angus project, a planned residential complex that will add a substantial number of low‑cost apartments to the area. The city’s investment will cover a portion of the total development costs, allowing the project to move forward under municipal oversight.
Îlot Angus is situated within the borough of Rosemont‑La Petite‑Patrie, a district that has seen rising demand for affordable rental options. By introducing 350 units, the initiative aims to expand the supply of housing that meets income‑based eligibility criteria set by the city. The new units are expected to serve households that earn below market rates, helping to alleviate pressure on the local rental market.
This allocation forms part of a broader municipal strategy to address housing affordability across Montreal. The city has announced multiple parallel initiatives that target the creation and preservation of affordable dwellings in various neighbourhoods. The collective effort reflects an ongoing commitment to increase the stock of accessible housing for residents facing economic challenges.
Details on the timeline for construction, the specific design of the units, and the application process for prospective tenants have not been released. The city indicated that further information will be provided as the project advances through planning and permitting stages.
The $25.1 million investment underscores the municipal government’s role in financing affordable housing projects, complementing private and non‑profit contributions. The addition of 350 units at Îlot Angus is projected to make a measurable impact on the availability of affordable homes in Rosemont‑La Petite‑Patrie, contributing to the city’s long‑term housing objectives.
