The SHDM and the City of Montreal congratulate Ms. Sophie Rousseau-Loiselle on her appointment to the position of Executive Director of the SHDM.

In accordance with the rules of governance of the SHDM, this appointment was ratified during the meeting of the executive committee of the City of Montreal on September 27, 2023, on the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Company. This decision followed a rigorous and supervised recruitment process by a committee set up following the announcement of the retirement of Ms. Nancy Shoiry. Ms. Rousseau-Loiselle will take office on October 16, 2023.

« Leveraging her extensive expertise in real estate development, her understanding of urban challenges, and her knowledge of SHDM and the key players in the field, Mrs. Rousseau-Loiselle will be able to successfully continue the work undertaken by the Société to expand the availability of affordable housing for Montrealers. »I would also like to thank Ms. Nancy Shoiry, who was Executive Director of the SHDM for eight years before retiring. I salute her commitment to making this organization a key player in the Chantier Montréal Abordable project,” declared Benoit Dorais, vice-president of the executive committee and responsible for housing, real estate strategy and legal affairs.

« On behalf of the board of directors, I welcome Mrs. Rousseau-Loiselle as the Executive Director of the SHDM. Beyond her substantial experience in large-scale real estate project development, the Société will benefit from her strategic vision and unifying leadership, » said Mr. Jean-Jacques Bohémier, chairman of the board of directors. « We look forward to working together to address the challenges related to affordable housing. »

About Ms. Sophie Rousseau-Loiselle

An urban planner with a master’s degree in public administration, Mrs. Rousseau-Loiselle brings 15 years of experience in real estate, involving strategic planning, coordination of large-scale projects, and the development of financing solutions. Combining knowledge of community, social, and private sectors, she has previously served as the Executive Director of the Fédération des coopératives d’habitation montérégiennes and worked on real estate projects at SHDM. Since 2018, she has held various roles at the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), particularly in the development and implementation of financial strategies for affordable rental housing.

The Terrasse Saint-Michel site, belonging to the SHDM, welcomed a large-scale greening project. This initiative, coordinated by Ville en vert with the support of One Tree Planted, was made possible thanks to the financial contribution of Cirque du Soleil and the involvement of its volunteer employees. Nearly 100 trees and shrubs were planted on a perfectly sunny day.

Carried out as part of Vert le Nord, this project contributes to the fight against urban heat islands and improving the quality of life of residents.

The SHDM is proud to support this initiative, which will improve the well-being of its tenants, while greening the neighborhood.

Terrasse Saint-Michel includes 112 affordable housing units spread over 14 buildings in the Villeray – Saint-Michel – Parc-Extension boroughs.

Please note that the SHDM offices will be closed on June 23rd, for The National Holiday of Quebec , and on June 30th, for Canada Day.

For an urgent service request, call 514 380-7436. This service is offered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and allows for rapid response to requests, even outside office opening hours.

Each year, the SHDM offers residents of several of its Autonomie+ buildings (reserved for autonomous customers aged 55 and over) the chance to garden during the summer season. Planting trays and soil are made available for growing flowers, fruit or vegetables. This year, in collaboration with the YAM organization, gardening workshops were organized to launch the season. 25 residents had the opportunity to benefit from urban agriculture advice from this social economy organization, whose mission is to deploy high-impact environmental projects in the community.
In all, more than 75 gardens will be cultivated this summer in 10 Autonomie+ buildings.

These types of projects help to strengthen neighborly ties and increase involvement in the environment, while improving living conditions and providing access to fresh produce.

Please note that the SHDM reception will be reopened every Friday as of May 12^th.
