Welcome to the Relaunch of the Public Housing Citizen’s Committee!
The Citizens Housing Committee Celebrates Relaunch With a New Program to Push for Affordable Low-Income Housing!
April 4th, 2025 – Montreal, Quebec – The Citizens Committee of the city of Montreal is inviting you, citizens and inhabitants of the city to celebrate the Committees relaunch of the Citizen Committee’s website and public forum through participation in our new relaunch campaign set to bring more low-income housing options to the neighborhood of Little Burgundy. The new website goes live April 7, 2025, along with the launch of the new program to bring more quality affordable housing into the community through involvement during public forums and on the website. We want to hear what you want and need!
The launch of the new program is headed by the president of the committee, Mrs. Jeanne LeBlanc alongside vice-president Mrs. Lucilla Pion, and their team of committee members; citizens fighting for the well-being of citizens, neighbor for neighbor. Teaming up with them, once again, is City of Montreal planner and spokesman Mr. Lucien Saulnier. The new website, along with containing the plans and updates on the new campaign, will open up new doors of communications between the committee and the community it strives to serve. We want to hear from the people, to help build what the community needs: affordable, quality, reliable, low-income housing designed for the community it’s being built for.
The Citizens Committee for Public Housing was founded in 1967 by members of the public housing community looking to increase community participation in decision making surrounding public housing initiatives. Our mission is to give a voice to the communities in need, pushing for fair leases and reasonable low-income rent costs while maintaining standards of living within the new complexes. It is our belief that the community living in these complexes should have a role in their administrations, even if through a public committee, someone dedicated to the interests of the community they’re serving.
Any questions or concerns about the Citizens Committee, our mission, the website/forum relaunch or the new low-income housing initiative? Feel free to reach out to:
