Episode Details

Montreal’s housing crisis is hitting hard: 71 households remain in emergency shelter—nearly double from last year—after Quebec’s July 1 moving day left many without homes. With soaring prices and a market worse than in 30 years, even condos are now less affordable than Toronto’s. While advocates see temporary aid as a win over homelessness, they warn urgent action is needed for permanent, affordable housing. The city’s housing authority is helping families find long-term solutions, with emergency stays covered for two months, then negotiated on a case-by-case basis. The crisis reflects deeper systemic issues, including weakened tenant protections and a market skewed toward investment over residence.
