Montreal should avoid dismantling homeless encampments, report finds | CBC News

Montreal is planning to dismantle a recent homeless encampment, prompting advocacy groups to express concerns over the lack of adequate housing options. The city aims to establish more shelters and services to support the homeless population. Officials argue that the encampment is unhygienic and poses safety risks, emphasizing the need to transition individuals into permanent housing. Critics, however, argue that the solution must address systemic issues and provide sufficient resources to support these vulnerable individuals.
