84.2. A local municipality may grant assistance, including in the form of a tax credit, for the following purposes:

(1)  transitional lodging of persons in need;

(2)  increasing or maintaining the supply of social or affordable housing or of dwellings intended for persons pursuing studies within the meaning of article 1979 of the Civil Code; and

(3)  the proper operation of a body that administers social or affordable housing.

The Municipal Aid Prohibition Act (chapter I-15) does not apply to assistance granted under subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph and whose purpose is the creation of a housing project that is the subject of an agreement entered into between a government department or body and a third person, where that agreement expressly provides for the possibility of a municipal contribution. However, municipal assistance must not be granted for a period that exceeds the duration of the agreement.
