Five to 10 people per day are being turned away from Verduns Jardins Gordon because its always at capacity.

Working with volunteer law students, the Clinique juridique itinérante helps the citys most vulnerable navigate the justice system.

One of the rare 24-hour shelters in Montreal, the Jardins Gordon will offer more services than the one in Complexe Guy-Favreau, which is closing Friday.

We must all play our part in helping the most disadvantaged in society find safe and secure accommodations this winter and all year long.

As Montreal has observed a rise in people living on the street, the problem has also become worse in Verdun.

The extra cash will allow some community groups to run their services 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Verdun residents say theyre concerned with introducing an unknown element into a neighbourhood where children walk to school.
