Luc Rabouin is vowing to change Montreal’s social and affordable housing bylaw if he becomes the next mayor of Montreal.
The Projet Montréal leader and mayoral candidate says the current bylaw is ineffective.
The existing “Règlement pour une métropole mixte” requires new construction developers to ensure at least 20 per cent social, affordable, and family housing in new developments. But Rabouin says the bylaw is unnecessarily complicated.
He is proposing a “new, simpler, clearer, and more effective regulation” to tackle the city’s housing crisis.
“We will build more non-market housing with predictable rules and complete transparency, ensuring that Montreal’s affordability is preserved,” said Rabouin.
“This is very, very important for us that people understand that we keep the goal to build a city for everyone, not only the people who are able to pay the price of the market, but we will have a bylaw really more simple and easier to plan in their project for the developers, not for profits.”
