The Government of Canada announced $130 million in funding for Inuit treaty organizations, with more than $32 million allocated to Makivvik to support regional priorities in Nunavik. Makivvik plans to put the funds toward a new elders' home in Kuujjuaq, Quebec, and transitional housing in Montreal, following the relocation of 13 elders due to structural issues at a previous facility. Additional allocations from the $130 million package include $16.9 million for the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation, $15.5 million for the Nunatsiavut government, and $65 million for Nunavut Tunngavik Incorporated under the federal Urban, Rural and Northern Indigenous Housing Fund.

Quebec solidaire housing critic Andrés Fontecilla expressed support for the Quebec government's intervention to cancel the illegal sale of a non-profit housing organization for seniors in Repentigny. The initiative aims to protect affordable housing assets for seniors from unauthorized commercial transactions. The party continues to press for stronger provincial oversight to prevent speculative sales of social and non-profit housing infrastructure.
