Québec’s Housing Nonprofits Experiencing the End of Federal Subsidy Agreements: Adaptability Without Renewal?
Open accessAbstract
Nonprofit organizations have become pivotal actors in the delivery of services. Many of them receive public funding to carry out their activities. However, this funding can be interrupted or even stopped for various reasons, political or not. This article examines how 26 housing nonprofit organizations in Québec, Canada, coped with the withdrawal of federal government subsidies to house low-income households. Drawing on structured interviews with managers, this article reports how they perceived this withdrawal and what they reported as the main challenges and the most effective strategies or “best practices” for addressing these. The discussion ends by positioning the housing case in relation to other organizations in the third sector.

Increases in the overall number of nonprofits in Canada combined with widespread resource cutbacks in the public sector have contributed to a resource landscape characterized by tenuous and restrictive funding agreements.
“However, increases in the overall number of nonprofits in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2024), combined with widespread resource cutbacks in the public sector (Bendaoud & Graefe, 2024), have contributed to a resource landscape that is characterized by tenuous and restrictive funding agreements (Lasby & Barr, 2021).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
