Montreal plans to establish new homeless shelter in face of growing demand
With local homeless shelters filling to the brim before winter officially arrives, the City of Montreal says it is looking to establish a new, 80-bed facility as soon as possible.
Coun. Rosannie Filato, the city’s executive committee member in charge of homelessness, said the first step will be to find a location — a space where people can go for more than just a warm bed at night.
“It’s not necessarily the traditional places that you see with X number of beds,” she said in an interview Friday.
