La Halte du Coin

What La Halte du Coin does

La Halte du Coin is a non-profit organization headquartered in Longueuil, Quebec, Canada that operates a 24/7 emergency shelter and integrated daytime services for people experiencing homelessness or precarious living situations on the Rive-Sud de Montréal. Founded in April 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic by three community organizations — Macadam-Sud, Hébergement La Casa Bernard-Hubert, and Le Repas du Passant — and incorporated as an autonomous entity on December 8, 2020, it is designated as the first high-accessibility (haut seuil d'accessibilité) resource of its kind in the Rive-Sud region. The organization has operated continuously since opening, with five years of uninterrupted service as of the most recent reporting.

The core service offering is a single integrated program rather than discrete products: emergency overnight accommodation with capacity that fluctuates between 15 and 35 beds depending on government subsidy cycles, daytime services including meals, laundry, showers, individualized social follow-up, referral coordination, community outreach, and cohabitation mediation. There is no proprietary technology stack, no digital product, and no AI/ML component; all service delivery is in-person at the Longueuil physical site. The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors and operates with a coordination team of three, four administrative/directorial staff, approximately 35 floor workers across day/evening/night shifts, a maintenance role, and a sustained volunteer base that contributed 2,718 hours in 2023-2024.

The financial model is a hybrid of recurring government subsidies (the primary funding stream for emergency shelter operations) and donations from foundations, corporations, and individuals. All services are provided free of charge to beneficiaries. The organization is institutionally embedded in the regional homelessness response network through partnerships with the Ville de Longueuil (under the 2024-2026 Cadre de référence et Plan d'action pour la lutte à l'itinérance), CISSS de la Montérégie (health and social services), SPAL police (cohabitation via the RESO team), Moisson Rive-Sud (food supply), and a dense network of peer non-profits including La Bouffe du Carrefour, La Crois\u00e9e de Longueuil, L'Antre-Temps, L'Abri de la Rive-Sud, Cuisines de l'Amitié, L'Aiguillage, and L'Avant-Toit.
