The Jeanne-Mance Housing Corporation (CHJM) is a para-municipal corporation of the City of Montreal, established in 1958 to administer the project known as Jeanne-Mance Housing (HJM). It is responsible for managing a housing stock of 788 units on behalf of its co-owners, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) and the City of Montreal.

Located in the heart of the Faubourg Saint-Laurent, the HJM represents the largest social housing complex in Quebec. A major housing modernization program, which began in 2012, is nearing completion.
