May 27, 2026 | Pearl Eliadis, an active member of the Quebec Homelessness Prevention Collaborative (CQPI), helped launch the coalition's proposed legal reform to make prevention a national priority in Quebec. Eliadis argues that "homelessness is not inevitable" but reflects political choices, and that prevention represents the most cost-effective response to a crisis estimated to cost the province nearly $1 billion per year. The proposal centers on enshrining the right to housing in the Quebec Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms and setting a legislated target of 20% social housing by 2040.
