Theme of the day: homelessness

Some news days have a theme, and Thursday’s is homelessness – not surprisingly. Le Devoir talks to several women about what it’s like to have access to shelter after having no home – but the shelter, CAP St‑Barnabé, needs more money, as do they all. And their newest shelter is being criticized for being too close to a school.

CultMTL reports rather uncritically on the Ensemble promise to eliminate homelessness.

But isn’t it heartwarming to read that the CAQ intends to end its housing help for refugees? Even as the city helps people off the street, the CAQ will push more people onto it.

It’ll be down to –14° Thursday night. The city is planning emergency measures offering extra shelter spaces.
