Resilience Montreal, a shelter that works with homeless people in downtown Montreal, will receive $3 million from the Quebec government to buy a permanent home in a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood. The shelter works primarily with people from Indigenous communities who gather in and around Cabot Square. The money from the provincial government will allow Resilience Montreal to purchase a building close to Cabot Square and set up a day shelter. Nakuset, the executive director of the Native Women's Shelter of Montreal, which runs Resilience Montreal, called the funding windfall "truly overwhelming." Resilience Montreal operates a temporary day shelter in Cabot Square year round.
