The Société d’Habitation du Québec’s (SHQ) Residential Adaptation Assistance Program (RAAP) is applicable across the province of Québec, including in Montréal. 

All new applications for adaptation or repair work to be carried out in a residence located in Montréal should be submitted to the SHQ, as part of its RAAP. 

However, as of April 1, 2025, the SHQ is no longer accepting new registrations, pending further notice.

Applications received before the end of the municipal program will be processed by the city according to the following criteria: 

Applications already approved by the city 

Your application is being processed as planned at the time of its approval by the city, in accordance with Montréal’s HAP. The person in charge of your application will contact you for a personalized follow-up and to answer your questions. 

Pending approvals by the city 

If the city confirmed that your application was receivable before November 22, 2024, date when the provincial program was suspended, your application will be processed in accordance with the SHQ’s RAAP. 

If the city confirmed that your application was receivable between November 22, 2024, and March 31, 2025 inclusive, or if you have not yet received confirmation of receivability, your application has been added to the SHQ’s waiting list, to be processed as part of its RAAP. Your request will be processed according to the date on which it was received by the city, and subject to available funds in the provincial program budget.

This program is no longer offered as part of Montréal’s HAP. The application must be submitted to the Société d’habitation du Québec, who will be handling such programs. 

If you have already submitted an application for equipment repairs to the city, you are not required to take further action. A person in charge of processing your application will contact you for a personalized follow-up.
