About
Since 1889, the Old Brewery Mission has acted as a safe place and a beacon of hope for homeless men and women in Montréal, providing them with vital services. While proud and encouraged by the difference it has made in the lives of those served over the years, the Mission recognizes that the reality of homelessness has changed considerably over time and that it must adapt its services to better meet the needs of individuals.
Our Impact
The valuable support of key players and partners over the years has enabled the Mission to expand its vision of ending homelessness. As a result, the Mission has moved from a reactive to a proactive approach in developing services that focus on permanent and sustainable solutions to chronic homelessness.
To reach this goal, the Mission has implemented a number of very successful initiatives, providing its clients with the necessary guidance and support to leave shelter life behind once and for all and move into their own homes.
