The Office municipal d’habitation de Montréal (OMHM) reports that 71 households were relocated into short-term accommodations following the province’s unofficial Moving Day on July 1, a 103 per cent increase from the same time last year when 35 households were relocated.
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada shared that evictions have also increased this year, with 81 households being forced to vacate their property since the start of 2026, a spike she calls worrying.
“The evictions have been increased and the number of people that we have to put in short-term accommodations has doubled,” said Martinez Ferrada during a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
