MONTREAL — A new report has found that visible homelessness in Quebec has increased by about 44 per cent between 2018 and 2022.
The analysis by province's public health institute says homelessness increased in all the regions included in the survey but rose sharpest in certain areas outside Montreal.
But while the city had the highest number of people living in shelters or on the streets, its percentage of total homeless people in Quebec declined from 80 per cent in April 2018 to about 60 per cent.
