Low-income Montrealers hit hard by rising housing costs, report finds
The CEO of Centraide, Claude Pinard, says the cost of living is cutting into necessities like food.
On top of that, the reports highlights that available housing is in short supply, with vacancy rates remaining low, hovering at three per cent. “Many people have to cling to unlivable apartments because they can’t afford to move. You get stuck in a poverty trap,” Mayrand said.While the report mentions the efforts by different levels of government in introducing housing projects, community organizations say a large-scale plan is needed.
