À chaque mois, nous abordons un thème différent avec un mot de la direction ainsi que de courtes vignettes portant sur les fonds, les philanthropes et les organismes qui forment la communauté de la FGM en se mettant à l’écoute et au service de la communauté du Grand Montréal.
For more than five years now, LogisAction NDG has worked to offer services to the tenants of Notre-Dame-de-Grâce and find solutions to their rental housing problems. Given the lack of assistance for tenants in most of the adjacent neighbourhoods (Côte Saint Luc, Montreal West, Westmount, Hampstead, and the West Island), LogisAction provides services in those areas as well. In meeting its mandate, LogisAction NDG organizes several workshops per month dealing with topics such as tenants’ rights, rent increases, signing a lease, cleanliness of dwellings and social housing.
Beyond these information sessions, the organization has been developing long-term projects like “Un toit comme chez soi pour les jeunes de NDG”, the primary goal of which is to mobilize the community in seeking additional affordable social housing units for at-risk youth in NDG, or “Chez soi à NDG”, which works with older tenants to give them the know-how and support they need to resolve their housing problems.
With the COVID-19 pandemic, new needs have arisen in the area of housing. LogisAction NDG now accompanies tenants threatened with eviction, living in unsanitary dwellings or seeking new lodging that is better suited to altered living situations, most notably by assisting them with administrative procedures. The Foundation of Greater Montréal’s COVID-19 Collective Fund came to the aid of the organization as it worked to meet these urgent needs, and at the same time support its existing teams as they kept services going.
