Diverse metropolis: Ways to contribute
Is your residential project subject to the By-law for a Diverse Metropolis? Your contribution to Montréal’s supply of social, affordable and family housing can take a number of forms.
Expected contributions and ways to contribute are different for each type of housing (social, affordable and family). They vary depending on the location and scope of the project. They are subject to an agreement with the city, the terms of which will be determined based on the characteristics of every project.

Social housing contribution
Your contribution to social housing can be made by:
- The sale of an immovable in the form of vacant land, of a turnkey project, or of a fixed-price design-build project. For the sale of vacant land, you will receive financial compensation, calculated based on the buildable potential of the transferred land (approximate minimum of 2,700 m2) and on the area where it is located. The costs associated with the construction of a turnkey or design-build project are typically offset with subsidies. To sign an agreement with the City, please contact the Service de l’habitation, at [email protected];
- A financial contribution: the contribution varies according to the project size and area where it is located;
- A combination of the options listed above.
Contributions can be made on or off the project site (within a maximum radius of 2 km of the project and for a slightly higher contribution). For downtown projects (area 1), contributions must be made in the same area.
Affordable housing contribution
Expected contribution varies depending on the location of the project. The project can be located in an affordable housing zone or outside one. To view affordable housing zones, see the map.
Volet familial
Elle prend la forme d’une construction de logements (voir la définition dans l’article 1 du Règlement). Le nombre de logements à construire varie en fonction du nombre total de logements du projet.
Les logements peuvent être construits à même le projet ou au sein d’un autre projet pour lequel des logements familiaux sont exigés. Dans un tel cas, ils doivent être situés à moins de 2 km du projet faisant l’objet de l’entente.
Pour les projets situés au centre-ville (secteur 1), la construction doit avoir lieu dans ce même secteur. Aucune contribution au volet familial privé n’est exigée pour les projets situés dans un secteur exempté (annexe C).
