The Société d'habitation du Québec is the agency responsible for preparing and implementing housing support policies and programs in Québec. It is the Québec government’s principal advisor in the field of housing. Created in 1967, it plays a dual social and economic role. As well as helping low-income households to obtain suitable housing at an affordable price, it encourages community housing initiatives and provides support to help keep rural and urban homes in Québec in good condition. Since 1997, it has also been responsible for supporting the growth and development of Québec’s housing industry, especially on foreign markets. |
