Summary
With July 1st moving day looming, over 2,150 Quebec families are still desperately searching for affordable housing — even as vacancy rates climb. New buildings are popping up, but rents have soared, making them unaffordable for most. The crisis stretches beyond Montreal and Quebec City into regions like Montérégie and Trois-Rivières, where demand for help is outpacing supply. Despite more units available, the average rent for a two-bedroom apartment has jumped by over 6-7%, leaving tenants in serious insecurity. Advocates are demanding urgent, long-term solutions — especially as Quebec heads into election season — to fix a system where housing isn’t just scarce, it’s unaffordable.
