As the needs of the homeless population in Montreal grew, programs and services were developed and made available to those in need.</p> <p>Several factors contribute to homelessness. These include, but are not limited to poverty;  inability to pay rent;  stress associated with job loss;  family crisis;  drug or alcohol abuse; gambling addiction; mental illness; and physical ill-health.</p> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:46:50 +0000 david.rothwell@mcgill.ca 942 at /crcf Old Brewery Mission - UUÖ±²¥ Collaboration /crcf/projects/current-projects/obm <p style="text-align:center"><b><a href="/crcf/projects/current-projects/obm/about-obm">About OBM</a> - <a href="/socialdevelopment/projects/obm/team" target="_blank" title="Project Team">Project Team</a> - <a href="/socialdevelopment/projects/obm/pub" target="_blank" title="Reports OBM">Publications</a></b></p> Fri, 15 Feb 2013 19:44:20 +0000 david.rothwell@mcgill.ca 941 at /crcf
