Un peu d’optimisme face aux crises du logement et de l’itinérance
AI Article Summary
The article discusses a sense of optimism regarding the housing and homelessness crises in Quebec. It mentions two projects: 'Toit à moi,' which buys condos to quickly house the homeless, and a developers' initiative to build 2,500 housing units. It also highlights government efforts to lower housing costs but notes that these initiatives alone won't fully solve the crises.

For Quebec builders, this could mean a shift in the nature of projects, with rehabilitation and acquisition of existing properties possibly taking priority, thus reducing construction timelines and the need for new raw materials.
