Quebec may increase resource allocation to address homelessness in Montreal The anticipation of funding for 3,000 emergency shelter beds in Montreal is based on the promise made by Premier-elect Paul St-Pierre Plamondon to make homelessness a top priority. This commitment requires the provincial government of Quebec to allocate resources and focus policy efforts on addressing the humanitarian crisis. The beds are specifically needed this winter to assist people who have previously had to sleep in chairs in emergency shelters.
