The Foundation puts a lot of energy into offering the visually impaired low-rental housing adapted to their living situation. The Foundation manages three residential housing complexes for the blind and is working on the development of future projects.<\/p>\n

In Quebec, nearly 100,000 individuals are visually impaired and aged 15 and over. Two thirds live in the Montreal area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Statistics Canada estimates that the vast majority of disabled people live below the poverty line and have an annual income under $10,000. In addition, 75% spend more than half their income on housing.<\/p>\n

The majority of our units are subsidized and rent is calculated based on our tenants\u2019 income. Others are affordable. In addition, environment is of paramount importance for the visually impaired. Once familiar with their environment, the blind wish to remain within it. This is why the Foundation ensures that the blind have access to the right environment both inside and outside the units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Future projects<\/h2>\n

The success of our latest project and the continued need for housing for people with visual impairments encourages us to work on new projects.<\/p>\n

In all cases, if you have visual impairment and a low income, we encourage you to register on our list of applicants to give yourself the best chance of having adapted and low-rental accommodation in your favour. To do so, please use the online form available (in French only) at www.habitationsfaq.org<\/a><\/strong>, or call us at 514-259-9470 ext. 226 and we will gladly help you. Please note, however, that demand is greater than supply.<\/p>\n

The units are allocated according to a weighting grid that takes into consideration several factors: income, visual impairment, urgency, etc.<\/p>\n
