Québec solidaire promises to build 25,000 social housing units in a first mandate and aims for a total of 50,000 units in the longer term.
This is a commitment of $3.2 billion for a first term. Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois assures that the dwellings “will be comfortable, well-appointed, ecological and adapted to the needs of people”, in a press release Thursday. The candidate unveiled his promise during an announcement in Sherbrooke.
“I sometimes hear prejudices about social housing: it would be synonymous with small poorly built and poorly maintained housing,” he says. With Québec solidaire, when we think of social housing, we will think of spacious and well-lit interiors, common spaces inside and green spaces outside, buildings that meet the latest standards in terms of ‘energetic efficiency. »
A supportive government would also buy new constructions to convert them into community housing.
Mr. Nadeau-Dubois accuses the Legault government of having favored the richest owners with the reduction of the school tax and of not having done enough for social housing.
