Hundreds of thousands of Quebecers have experienced homelessness or eviction, according to<\/p>\n\n\n\n

a recent report from the Institut de la statistique du Qu\u00e9bec (ISQ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on data collected between 2017 and 2022, in 9% of households, the reference person has experienced at least one period of homelessness in their lifetime. The most commonly cited causes are relationship or interpersonal issues (45%) and financial difficulties (36%).

In addition, approximately 5% of households in the province have been forced to move out of a rental unit. The main reason for eviction is a landlord reclaiming the property for personal use, cited in 40% of cases.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Quebec, this represents more than 337,000 people who have experienced homelessness and approximately 187,000 households that have faced the consequences of a forced move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experiencing hardship and housing instability can happen to anyone. That\u2019s why the Toit \u00e0 Moi community is so important\u2014to support those who find themselves without a home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
