RenoRegion

COVID-19 – We will suspend home visits for the time being as the service is not considered essential until further notice. We will only do those cases that are deemed to be priorities. Thank you!

The Government of Quebec has announced that it has set aside around $260,000 for 2022-2023 so that low- and modest-income homeowners in the MRC Pontiac MRC can have work done to correct major defects in their residence.

Financial assistance through the RenoRegion Program is offered by the Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ) to help low-income homeowners-occupiers, who live in rural areas, carry out work to correct major defects in their homes.

Eligibility Conditions

  1. You must be owner-occupier of a dwelling located on MRC Pontiac territory;
  2. This dwelling must be your primary residence;
  3. The dwelling can be a duplex, as long as you are the owner-occupier of one of the residences;
  4. The residential portion of a mixed-use building, e.g., business on the ground floor and housing on the upper floor, is eligible if you meet the other conditions;
  5. Your residence must have at least one major defect;
  6. Your annual household income must not exceed the maximum allowable income, which varies according to household size and the area where you live;
  7. The value of the residence, excluding the value of the land, should not exceed $ 150,000;
  8. The cost of repairs must be at least $ 3,500;
  9. You are not eligible for the program if you have benefited from the RénoVillage program over the ten years preceding the application, or the Emergency repairs program over the past five years.

Assistance Provided

  • A grant of 20-95% of the known cost for the completion of eligible projects, but not exceeding $20,000 – $25,000; the subsidy is paid only when the work is completed;
  • The cost of eligible work is the lowest cost between that of the lowest bid received, the one that is charged by the contractor and the one calculated from current price list for the program;
  • The grant amount is determined by multiplying the known cost for the execution of eligible projects by the percentage of financial assistance to which you are entitled. This percentage varies depending on the difference between your household income and the eligible income level, which depends on the region where you live and the size of your household.

Eligible Repairs

Structural, plumbing, heating, electricity, exterior walls, roof, and openings repairs are eligible.

The work must be performed by a RBQ Licensed Contractor and must begin after obtaining MRC approval, and be completed within six months from the date of MRC authorization.

Program Registration

To apply for the program you must complete the registration form and attach all required documents. Submit your complete application to the MRC by email at mrc@mrcpontiac.qc.ca, or by mail or in person at the MRC Pontiac, 602 Route 301 in Campbell’s Bay J0X 1K0.

Incomplete applications will be rejected.

For more information please the MRC at 819-648-5689 ext. 210.

Once you submit an application:

  1. The SHQ inspector will visit the building to make a list of eligible repairs to include in a request for a quote.
  2. Based on this request for a quote, you must obtain bids from RBQ licensed contractors and send the MRC the contractor’s job estimate.
  3. The SHQ inspector will complete your file and, if all is in order, will send a certificate of eligibility indicating the amount you will be entitled to upon completion of work, if all program requirements are met. This document will also serve as your authorization to begin work.
  4. Once the work is completed, the SHQ inspector will check whether the work has been completed in accordance with the work estimate specifications and report back to the MRC. Upon the MRC’s approval, the amount to which you are entitled will be paid.
