The housing component of Maison Benoit Labre consists of offering 36 studios (1½) for homeless people living with addictions and mental health issues who use our current services. It is currently full. For any questions or requests, please contact our coordinator at the email address coordination.logement@lamaisonbenoitlabre.org

With low threshold requirements and from a harm reduction perspective, this five (5) year transitional program aims to develop autonomy for residential stability through self-determined objectives supported and accompanied by a psychosocial intervention team.

This housing component will be linked with our future Overdose Prevention Center (CPS) as well as our Day Center to ensure a continuum of services for our future residents.

In order to better support our future residents within this housing component, we have developed our own community support.
