$633.6M over 6 years to complete the delivery of nearly 3,500 AccèsLogis housing units, build 1,000 additional units under the PHAQ, grant rent supplements and help municipalities.

$416.1M by 2026-2027: 

• • $247M for the 3,500 AccèsLogis housing units;

• • $100M for 1,000 additional PHAQ units;

• • $69.1M to grant rent supplements and assist municipalities offering services to households without housing (by 2026-2027):

• • • $42.9M to add 1,600 units (19,986 in total) to the Rent Supplement Program, private market component;

• • • $20.1M for 500 emergency Rent Supplement units for people experiencing homelessness;

• • • $4.1M for 100 emergency Rent Supplement units for women victims of domestic violence;

$217.5M to improve the quality of housing in Quebec:

• • Renovate the low-rental housing stock ($52.3M);

• • $165.2M to improve housing through various SHQ programs:

• • • Rénovation Québec ($33M);

• • • RénoRégion program ($62M);

• • • Home Adaptation Program ($64M).

The budget of the Department of Municipal Affairs and Housing decreases by $106.6M. This is explained by: 

• • Amounts invested in 2021-2022 to accelerate the completion of housing units announced under the AccèsLogis Québec program:
    • Exclusion of $262M in measures from the 2022-2023 Budget that are non-recurring in scope, and the transfer of $1.9M from a provision for initiatives concerning revenue and fraud.

A surplus of $88.1M at the SHQ in 2022-2023, compared with an anticipated surplus of $47.8M in 2021-2022. The variation is explained by a $40.3M increase in revenue from CMHC, offset by a projected increase in spending on affordable housing construction programs and on certain programs that help low-income households pay their rent.
