Impact’s housing program offers to people between 18 and 65 years old having mental health conditions the opportunity to benefit from an affordable apartment with follow-up. We begin the program with a stay of two years in an apartment under supervision.
After this period, we support and help people find a long-term housing or if the availability allows it, we can offer long-term apartment with Impact.
Located in the area of Petite-Bourgogne, the building of 12-furnished studios is near services such as subway, pharmacy and grocery stores.
*Note that tenants can have 1 cat only. Dogs are unfortunately forbidden.
