ADMINISTRATION
Renovation program
The Brome-Missisquoi MRC has the responsibility of managing the home improvement Program by the Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ) called « RénoRégion ».
RenoRegion program
This program is administered by the Société d’habitation du Québec (SHQ), in collaboration with the MRC, which has a budget of $ 270,000 for the implementation of RénoRégion program. Once the total budget allocated to eligible owners, no new applications will not be processed.
This Program aims to provide financial assistance for low-income owner-occupants, allowing them to carry out the work required to correct major defects in their homes.
