Vilavi Québec manages 125 social housing units with community support in downtown Montreal in collaboration with the City of Montreal, the Société d’Habitation du Québec (SHQ) and the Office Municipal d’Habitation de Montréal (OMHM).
To carry out these projects, Vilavi also calls upon the following partners: Atelier Habitation Montréal (Technical Resource Group, non-profit organization, responsible for the design), the Integrated University Health and Social Services Center of the South-Central part of the Island of Montreal (Community Support Funding), the Office Municipal d’Habitation de Montréal (Public organization, operating partner). The natural partnership with the community organizations network allows for recruitment activities.
During the construction phase, tenants currently in the buildings are offered relocation support to complete the work. Upon completion of the building, these same tenants can request to return to the project, which, in addition to offering renovated units that meet SHQ standards, allows them access to the rent supplement, which guarantees them a rent capped at 25% of their income.
