Douglas College, Cégep de Chicoutimi, and Mohawk College are bringing new housing options to students in their communities. Construction has begun on Douglas’s student residence. The 20-storey building will have space for 368 students in one-, two-, and four-bedroom units, as well as space for classrooms, labs, food services, and more. The building is anticipated to be completed by Fall 2027. Chicoutimi has announced that it is adding 30 more rooms to its Tremblay residence to address the shortage of affordable housing. The units will be ready for students next year. Mohawk and SpacesShared are also working together to bring affordable housing options to students through home-sharing. The partnership will allow Mohawk students to use the SpacesShared platform and team to find a rental option with an older adult.
