The Plancher project
Details on the process
Why launch this project?
The community housing sector in Quebec is strong and resilient. It is one of the most established in Canada. Organizations across the province have long struggled to provide dignified living conditions for all, regardless of their history.
It is by working together and by building on our achievements that we can continue to develop and meet the growing needs of Quebecers.
Who can get involved?
We want the largest possible number of organizations that are working in community housing, working with people with housing needs, or dealing with housing-related situations to join us in the process.
Any and all organizations that want to participate are welcome. The greater the diversity of the participants, the richer the results will be.
