\n\t\t\t\tPersonalized Support\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t \t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Including residents from the three other Accueil Bonneau buildings, this project will bring the total number of individuals supported by Accueil Bonneau professionals in Greater Montreal to 258.<\/p>\n

This approach is also more cost-effective. In fact, it costs approximately $20,000 per year to help someone transition out of homelessness and into stable housing, compared to $60,000 per year for emergency services that do not improve their long-term situation (\u00c9ric Latimer, Homelessness, visible and hidden: Improving our policy and clinical responses<\/em>, 2018).<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tA Unique Diversity\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThis project's innovative model will foster a unique form of social diversity, as residents who are not experiencing homelessness (20% of all tenants in the building) will live alongside individuals who are currently homeless or at risk of homelessness. Accueil Bonneau will also conduct a study to assess the impact of this model on individuals experiencing homelessness.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]Harmonious coexistence with the surrounding neighborhood is also a key priority for us. That\u2019s why our outreach workers patrol the area and ensure that social harmony is maintained among people experiencing homelessness, local business owners, residents, and tourists.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1621651339588{background-color: #f6f6f8 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652400026855{padding-top: 110px !important;padding-right: 14% !important;padding-bottom: 110px !important;padding-left: 14% !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;}”]

\n\t\t\t\tA Prevention-Focused Project\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tAt Accueil Bonneau, we serve three profiles of individuals: those experiencing homelessness, those at risk of homelessness, and those who have recently exited homelessness.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

This new housing building is one of a kind, as it will enable cohabitation between individuals experiencing homelessness and those at risk of becoming homeless.<\/p>\n

By providing them with personalized and professional support early on, we will help these vulnerable individuals avoid falling into the cycle of homelessness.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tA Proven Method\t\t\t<\/h1>\n\t\t \t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\tThis model, based on social reintegration through access to housing, has proven effective worldwide in permanently breaking the cycle of homelessness, all while being more cost-effective for public finances.
\nA notable example of this success is Helsinki, Finland, where the number of people experiencing homelessness has dropped by nearly 80% in just 40 years.\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1621651339588{background-color: #f6f6f8 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1687465244597{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;margin-left: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;border-left-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.accueilbonneau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Clara-Loiseau-Journal-de-Montreal-1500-\u00d7-1500-px.png?id=15568) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_empty_space height=”600px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1652400026855{padding-top: 110px !important;padding-right: 14% !important;padding-bottom: 110px !important;padding-left: 14% !important;background-color: #f9f9f9 !important;}”]

Three residents of Accueil Bonneau shared their experiences living in our housing buildings in a report by Clara Loiseau from the Journal de Montr\u00e9al<\/em>. Here are some of their testimonies:<\/p>\n

Daniel Simoneau:<\/strong> “When I arrived here, it gave me wings to rebuild my life and start fresh. It’s a stepping stone.”<\/p>\n

Frank Lambert:<\/strong> “Now, my accounts are up to date, my taxes are up to date. I\u2019m more comfortable managing my affairs. I even got a job as a maintenance worker at the Jewish General Hospital in Montreal.”<\/p>\n
