Montreal to Install Trailers in Notre-Dame Encampment This Winter
The 36-bed site will provide 24/7 support and reserved spaces for women and transgender people as Montreal tries to move encampment residents indoors.
- On Monday, Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada announced the city will install trailers providing 36 emergency shelter spots at the Notre-Dame encampment in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough this winter.
- City officials developed the $1.4 million project as an alternative for unhoused residents, aiming to limit makeshift structures after census data showed roughly 180 people living in the encampment earlier this fall.
- Managed by community organization L'Anonyme, the trailers will operate 24/7 starting in December, providing bunk beds, kitchens, showers, and medical services to residents seeking long-term housing pathways.
- "At the end of our mandate, I don't want a single tent on Notre-Dame," Mayor Martinez Ferrada told reporters, noting that 15 of the 36 spots are reserved for women and transgender individuals.
- On-Site services will be funded by the Quebec government, supporting broader efforts to address homelessness as Benoit Langevin, the executive committee member responsible for social development, emphasized the need for collaborative solutions.
