Native Women’s Shelter gets 2nd location
The Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal has been given a beautiful old building on Seigneurs in the Sud-Ouest borough to convert into 23 housing units for women and their kids. It’s a brief piece and where the cash will come from for the conversion isn’t gone into.
Update: Nakuset has tweeted to me to specify: “It’s a second stage supportive housing for both single Indigenous women, as well as Indigenous and their children.”

If I’m not confusing things, they got money previously. I remember a story about someone giving money, and at the presentation deciding to give more money. The story happened, but maybe was about Chez Doris.
Having a building may help fundraising, something concrete to aim for.

The building too was promised a while back, or at least proposed. It is (was) owned by the city, I’d like to see more city buildings get off the books with moves like this.

The money comes from municipal and provincial programs.
