Resilience Montreal criticizes Quebec for lack of support for homeless community

Resilience Montreal cofounder Na’kuset has criticized the Quebec government’s lack of significant support for the homeless during the winter season. She contrasted the province’s $9.7-million investment with the City of Montreal’s decision to award a $158-million contract to Proanima Montréal to build and operate two animal shelters. That’s over $17-million per year for 10 years.

The province announced their $9.7-million expenditure on adding beds and increasing overnight services in homeless shelters this winter following a report that there are 10,000 homeless people in Quebec, including almost 5,000 in Montreal.

Proanima has been awarded a 10-year $158-million contract from the city of Montreal to create and manage the long awaited new shelter.

Meanwhile Montreal’s homeless community is at a crisis point and only a 9.7 million committed from Quebec…😡https://t.co/LbzMiMc2j5
