SUTTON, March 15, 2023\u2014The Minister responsible for Housing, Ms. France-\u00c9laine Duranceau, the Minister responsible for Sport, Recreation and Outdoors and MNA for Brome-Missisquoi, Ms. Isabelle Charest, and the Minister of Public Security and Minister responsible for the Eastern Townships, Mr. Fran\u00e7ois Bonnardel, are proud to highlight the start of construction of 18 social and affordable housing units for families in Sutton. This is a total investment of nearly $8 million.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Quebec government, through the Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 d’habitation du Qu\u00e9bec (SHQ), is allocating nearly $2.1 million to the organization behind the project, Les Habitations Abordables Sutton, as part of its Acc\u00e8sLogis Qu\u00e9bec program. The SHQ also guaranteed the mortgage loan contracted by the organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its part, the City of Sutton is providing nearly $5.1 million to the project, of which approximately $4.4 million comes from the envelopes of the tripartite agreements that the municipality has signed with the SHQ and the Minist\u00e8re des Affaires municipales et de l’Habitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
