The City of Montreal announced Thursday that it had requisitioned two hotels to provide emergency services to the homeless population in Montreal.
As announced by Press Wednesday, the Chrome Hotel, located on René-Lévesque Street in Montreal, will welcome 111 people this week. “This new site will accommodate people experiencing homelessness who test positive for COVID-19 and who do not require hospital care as well as those awaiting a result and those who must isolate themselves”, said the City of Montreal in a press release Thursday.
This site will be jointly managed by the Mission Old Brewery organization and the CIUSSS du Center-Sud-de-l’Île-de-Montréal.
A second Montreal hotel will also offer 50 places starting in February for homeless people living in Montreal.
