Fondation des Aveugles du Québec helps blind and visually impaired seniors and adults age in place through affordable, adapted housing. The Foundation manages six residential complexes across Montreal containing 150 accessible units, with rents based on tenants' income. Five complexes are located in the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve neighbourhood for easy access to transit, services, and metro stations; a sixth recently opened on the South Shore. Each building is carefully designed with the needs of visually impaired residents in mind. The Foundation prioritizes stable living environments, recognizing that once residents become familiar with their surroundings, they wish to remain there. Community support is built into each residence, with staff available to assist tenants with daily activities and leisure programs. The organization supports residents in maintaining independence and active community participation. Seniors with low incomes and visual impairments can apply for subsidized housing through an online waitlist form (habitationsfaq.org), with assistance available by phone. Allocation is based on income, severity of visual impairment, and urgency of housing need. The Foundation also offers adapted products, financial aid, prevention services, and community resources to support independent living at home.
