As an organization that helps people experiencing homelessness, in order to overcome the challenges of this oppressive heat, we offer everyone who comes to our doors:
If you see someone affected by the heat, offer them water and a public transit ticket to get to a shelter or cool area.

A short break in a cool area for someone experiencing homelessness or living in poor housing can go a long way.
Let’s be collectively responsible and remember that access to water and rest in a cool area is vital for ALL.
Together, we can make Montréal a city that cares about its most vulnerable residents. Your kindness helps us to achieve our mission.
