It'll have 84 social housing units and will replace the church building as well as the adjacent parking lot. Construction is supposed to start in August.
An emergency centre will be moved away from the site of a new homeless encampment that has been causing problems in the neighbourhood. The new centre will provide a place to sleep among other resources. As Global’s Phil Carpenter reports, city officials hope it will stem the problem before it comes worse.An encampment for the homeless population next to a tennis court on Bourassa Street in Longueuil, Que., is one example of how pervasive homelessness has become on the South Shore and elsewhere.
The City of Longueuil is about to do something officials believe will help. They are moving the Halte du coin emergency shelter for the unhoused at the Notre-Dame-des-Grace church building on the same street to a municipal building about a kilometre away at the Jeanne-Dufresnoy Centre on Curé Poirier Boulevard.
“Yes, we have a major increase here in Longueuil, but it’s the same all around Quebec,” Fournier said. “We’re so close to Montreal so we already had a certain homelessness population, but way less.”Calgary Stampede will continue amid water emergency: ‘The show will go on’
