WebImmo : The reality of homelessness during COVID-19

While we are confined to our homes, another reality strikes people who do not have a roof over their heads.

Over the past few weeks, the City of Montreal has made colossal efforts to help people who are homeless in Montreal.

From arenas and sports centers converted into dormitories, the lobby of the Grande Bibliothèque as a rest stop, to thousands of meals distributed in various parks, Montréal has organized itself.

We had the pleasure of welcoming Serge Lareau, Montreal’s commissioner for homeless people, to share with us the reality that has befallen the most destitute people in our society and how all of this has been organized.

A new generation of younger volunteers has come to lend a hand during this crisis, as older people are confined to their homes.
