70 seniors to be displaced as Hochelaga-Maisonneuve seniors' residence closes
Seventy seniors will be losing their homes come July as Manoir Louisiane, a private seniors’ residence in the Mercier-Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough will be closing down.
Noovo Info reports that the abrupt announcement by the owner left many residents in shock.
The CIUSSS de l’Est-de-l’île-de-Montréal is reportedly assisting residents with the relocation process.
However, Entraide-logement Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, a community organization advocating for tenant’s rights says the process is not following the rules in place.
Moreover, Noovo Info also reports that in recent days, workers with Entraide-logement who went to the manor to assist residents were asked to leave by police.

Additionally, the residence is also dealing with a bed bug issue.
The CIUSSS says the owner is closely monitoring the situation.
