In Montreal’s west end, where resources for people experiencing
homelessness are virtually non-existent, Ricochet created a unique

kind of shelter. The region’s first and only inclusive mixed-gender shelter,
it is open round the clock to give 70 people much more than a roof over
their heads, as they can get three hot meals a day, psychosocial support
and a safe space that helps them make a fresh start.
