About Le PAS de la rue
Le PAS de la rue accueille, soutient et accompagne les aînés de 55 ans et plus en situation d'itinérance, de précarité et d'isolement dans une perspective de stabilisation, d'inclusion de valorisation. Nous déployons un continuum de services intégrés à travers deux centres de jour situés dans les quartiers Centre-Sud et Mercier-Est de Montréal et nous gérons 67 logements subventionnés avec soutien communautaire. L'organisme s'engage dans la campagne de la Marche de la Nuit la plus froide de l'année pour récolter des fonds pour soutenir et renforcer ses services face à la crise de l'itinérance sans précédent à laquelle nous faisons face et qui impacte fortement les aînés. 44% des personnes dénombrées en itinérance à Montréal ont 50 ans et plus et ce sont plus de 1000 aînés que nous accompagnons à travers nos services. Il est urgent et crucial d'agir ! L'ensemble des fonds réaliseront servir à renforcer nos services face à la crise de l'itinérance pour la réinsertion des aînés en itinérance ou à risque de le devenir : - Accueil - Soutien psychosocial - Service alimentaire - Activités de socialisation - Salle de débordement pour accueillir plus d'aînés Participez à notre campagne et aidez-nous à récolter des fonds prévenir et réduire l'itinérance chez les 55 ans et plus à Montréal !
