The federal, Quebec and municipal governments, along with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ and Village Urbain, are backing the construction of a co-housing project in Montreal.

Located in the Lachine borough, the 58-unit project has a $29-million budget, with construction underway. The development includes 16 condominiums for sale at cost and 42 affordable non-market rental units, with residents expected to move in by fall 2026.

Of the $20.8 million dedicated to the affordable rental component, Quebec is contributing more than $7.35 million in partnership with the Fonds de solidarité FTQ, while the City of Montreal is providing $2.94 million. The federal government is investing $1.9 million through the Affordable Housing Innovation Fund, via the Capital social d’investissement immobilier.

“Our new federal government is proud to support this initiative as part of our ongoing efforts to build strong and affordable communities across the country,” said federal Housing and Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson. “This co-housing project will have a real impact on the lives of people in Montreal and is another important step in our ambitious plan to build a strong Canada.”

The development will feature 26 three- and four-bedroom family units and nearly 10,000 square feet of shared indoor and outdoor spaces, including a multi-purpose room, kitchen, laundry, playroom, quiet areas, roof decks and a central Maison commune.

Co-housing is a collective living model, similar to a student dormitory, whereby residents occupy private units but share common areas and resources. Designed to foster social ties, the approach differs from housing co-operatives by emphasizing structured shared spaces and community-building activities.
