The six organizations include the following: Maison de l'innovation sociale (MIS), Fillactive, and La Cantine pour tous.
For real estate, they include: Le Monastere des Augustines, Maison Mere, and Batiment 7. The social real estate developments are a growing trend throughout Canada. Quebec is home to several organizations that, each in their own way, are developing innovative projects.
