SUBMIT AN APPLICATION FOR AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNIT IN A HOUSING CO-OPERATIVE

PROCEDURE FOR CO-OPERATIVES IN THE PRIVATE NON-PROFIT PROGRAM (PSBL-P)

If you want to obtain housing in a co-operative from the Programme sans but lucratif privé (affordable private non-profit program) where all the tenants receive a subsidy to reduce the cost of their rent, you must follow the procedure described on this page and meet the eligibility requirements for this program.

IMPORTANT NOTE
