Housing committee
La Petite Maison sur Laprairie community hub
Pivot: coopérative d'architecture
Located at 1295 Laprairie Street, in the heart of Point-Saint-Charles, La Petite Maison sur Laprairie will serve as a model for both community resilience and environmental responsibility. Built on two floors and Zero Carbon–certified, this innovative community space will house four local organizations: Familles en action, Centre de femmes Madame Prend Congé, Regroupement Information Logement, and Club populaire des consommateurs de Pointe-Saint-Charles.
Built in parallel with a 52-unit social housing project developed by Habitations Laprairie on the upper floors, the community hub will host activities and services for more than 5000 users annually. Bringing these resources together under one roof will create a space for mutual support, collaboration and shared services, strengthening the fabric of the neighbourhood.

La Petite Maison sur Laprairie will play a major role in the community landscape of Point-Saint-Charles by creating a unique space in Montreal’s Sud-Ouest district. It will serve as a focal point for exceptional collective action led by its four flagship organizations, which provide essential services to thousands of individuals across southwestern Montreal. By joining forces, we are strengthening solidarity and collaboration within our community.
We invite community members, partners, supporters and anyone interested to join us in this innovative project. Your support is essential to help bring this vision to life and to ensure the long-term sustainability and accessibility of community services in our neighbourhood. Together, we can create lasting and far-reaching impact.
