Community resources: Shelters and housing

http://www.omhm.qc.ca/en/looking-apartment
These affordable unitsfor families and single renters have from one to four bedrooms. Unlike the low-cost housing formula, rents are not calculated on the basis of household income. Rents are fixed for the duration of the lease and set lower than the market rate. Rents vary by building, location and apartment size.
