Governments of Canada and Quebec Invest in New Affordable Housing in La Pêche

Posted by Moishe Alexander

The Honourable Lawrence Cannon, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Member of Parliament for Pontiac, on behalf of the Honourable Diane Finley, Minister of Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, along with Stéphanie Vallée, Parliamentary Assistant to the Premier of Quebec and Member of the National Assembly for Gatineau, on behalf of Laurent Lessard, Minister of Municipal Affairs, Regions and Land Occupancy, officially opened today the two housing projects of the La Pêche Development Corporation, which provide 24 new affordable housing units for semi-independent seniors. This represents an investment of nearly $3.5 million on the part of public and sector partners for the construction of these units.

The Government of Canada, through Canada’s Economic Action Plan, and the Government of Quebec, under the AccèsLogis program of the Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ), contributed a total amount of nearly $1.5 million, while partners and the Municipality of La Pêche invested nearly $2 million. Of this sum, more than $1.3 million will be provided by the Municipality of La Pêche in the form of a capitalized tax rebate. Canada’s Economic Action Plan was put in place to stimulate the economy and create jobs during the global recession. The federal and provincial governments will invest, on a 50:50 cost-shared basis, $538 million in Quebec under the Affordable Housing Initiative Program Extension Agreement.

“Our government is committed to giving a hand-up to the people of Quebec during these tough economic times,” said Minister Cannon. “Through projects like these, Year 2 of Canada’s Economic Action Plan will continue to create jobs, stimulate communities in all corners of the country and support Canadian workers and families.”

“The opening of these two establishments is excellent news and demonstrates the attention that our government is giving to the seniors of Quebec. Thanks to the combined efforts of the different partners that contributed to this mobilizing project, 24 households can now benefit from safe, quality housing that meets their needs, at an affordable cost,” said MNA Stéphanie Vallée, in the presence of Robert Bussière, Mayor of La Pêche and Chair of the Board of Directors of the La Pêche Development Corporation, and community partners.

Canada’s Economic Action Plan provides $400 million, over two years, to build new rental housing for low-income seniors. Overall, the Economic Action Plan includes $2 billion for new and existing social housing, plus up to $2 billion in loans to municipalities for housing-related infrastructure.

Canada’s Economic Action Plan builds on the Government of Canada’s commitment in 2008 of more than $1.9 billion, over five years, to improve and build new affordable housing and help the homeless.

Twelve tenants of these two housing projects can benefit from the SHQ’s Rent Supplement program, which provides financial assistance to low-income individuals who would otherwise have to spend more than 25 per cent of their income on housing. The rent supplements provided will represent, over a five-year period, a total of nearly $183,350 in financial assistance, including $165,000 from the SHQ and more than $18,350 from the Municipality of La Pêche.

Since 2003, 980 community housing units have been, or are being, developed in the Outaouais region, including 82 in the constituency of Gatineau, representing total investments of nearly $114 million by the Government of Quebec.

We all wish to live a luxurious life throughout our life. The rich people can afford to lead it the way they like because they do not have to worry about the finances. Generally it is the common man who suffers especially when the market rates fluctuate seeing the economic condition of the present day. From a past few months or rather since a year a common man is struggling hard even to meet up his daily expenses. Even if he/she has made plans to buy a property, a house or even a small shop in a complex, it is next to impossible for him/her in the period of financial crisis. So a common man thinks that he has to be satisfied the way he is staying. But there is a way out even in the period of recession and a common man also can make an attempt to buy a property, a house or even a shop in a complex. Well, this is possible because he/she can take the assistance from the mortgage company which can handle such kind of situation very smartly even during the financial crisis. They have alliance with several banks and it is not hard for them to help the clients with the entire dealing process.

The basic thing is that the person who has decided to go in for the mortgage has to be clever enough to understand the entire process. He/she should be able to pay the installments on time so that the process continues in a systematic way without any disturbances. There are several types of mortgages and one can take the advice of the professionals and then sign the deal. If one follows some tips before entering into any dealing, then it would be a sensible decision. Here are some tips one can follow: 1] A person should plan his/her budget before hand; calculate the amount he/she has to borrow. 2] He/she should try to go in for the Today’s Mortgage Rates. 3] He/she should decide the Mortgage rates which he/she should be able to repay it without disturbing the present expenditures. 4] One should also find out if there is any redemption penalty. 5] Last but not the least, one should also know what would happen if he/she misses to pay one or two installments.

My father had taken the assistance from the Mortgage refinancing Toronto when he wanted to renovate his house. The brokers and the management at the Mortgage Refinancing Toronto are very straight forward and they clear all the doubts of the clients in a proficient way which occurs before or during the time of the financial dealing. The Beneficial Mortgage Financing procedure is one of the best ways to take the loan from the mortgage company for renovating the house. My father was satisfied with the Mortgage refinancing process because of the easy installments. He was an intelligent businessman and he already had a vast knowledge about the various mortgages processes and their advantages .

Canadian Funding Corp Lawyers’ real estate monopoly struck

The New Brunswick Court of Appeal has upheld a decision declaring unlawful the Law Society of New Brunswick’s rule granting lawyers the exclusive right to submit land transfer documents electronically at no fee, while others had to file over the counter and pay fees. First Canadian Title challenged the validity of the provision. The Court held that the rule conflicted with the Land Titles Act and also that it was adopted for the improper purpose of addressing lawyers’ concerns about competition from title insurers.
