A new transitional housing project for those who previously experienced homelessness was unveiled in Montreal’s Ahunstic-Cartierville borough Thursday.
The building called La Maison du Coin – Crémazie was jointly developed by Welcome Hall Mission and real-estate developer Domicile Fixe on a previously vacant site to help formerly unhoused people re-integrate to housing.
“The project offers a stable and supervised living environment where residents will stay for an average of one year and receive personalized support from Welcome Hall Mission to foster autonomy and facilitate their transition to long-term housing,” the organizations said in a press release.

The building was designed by Atelier L’Abri with the needs of people who have experienced homelessness, according to the statement.
The press conference announcing the housing project was attended by Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada and borough Mayor Maude Théroux-Séguin.
