My building was sold and the new owner wanted to increase the rent by $20/month. Which maybe to her was a small amount but for me it was a big amount; at that time I had lost my job so I was already sacrificing a lot to pay the rent. When I lost my job I became a poor person. When I went to the CLE I was treated badly. That made me upset so I wanted to get involved in an organization that fights poverty.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">When I worked, I realized that most of my salary went to pay rent. This is why for me, the most important thing is social housing. This motivates me to participate in supporting social housing, when I have time. If there’s no social housing, when people lose their jobs it’s very easy to become homeless.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Last year, I went to the FRAPRU Congress. Many different groups participated and helped me to know that many different kinds of people need social housing. The FRAPRU is very well organized and has done a lot to tell the government that social housing is important. Each group that attended had a chance to participate in the decisions. That’s democracy to me. With the FRAPRU, we get together to be a big group and that makes us stronger. We also got some outcomes this year – the federal government accepted to fund social housing (through the Accès-Logis program) for two years more. We’ll continue to fight for this and maybe after two years, they’ll continue the program.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The most important way of fighting poverty is by fighting for housing.”</p>

At the time, she was going to a temp agency every morning, but more often than not there was no work for her. The small amount she earned enabled her to buy a bus pass and contribute a bit to the household expenses of the friend who had taken her in. Priscilla’s pension application was challenging: it involved proving her years of Canadian residence and accounting for a period when she returned to her country of origin to care for her ailing mother. Priscilla made over ten visits to the Storefront in the course of completing the application, coming in each time she received a new document by mail.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">&#8220;For my pension, we gave a lot of papers and they kept saying they want this and they want that. In the end everything worked out. I got my pension for the years that passed.&#8221; Now Priscilla is able to pay rent and only goes to work if she feels equal to it.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Through the Storefront, Priscilla attended a Social Housing Clinic and has joined the Housing Rights Committee. As a member of the committee, she says &#8220;I am learning a lot and I am meeting a lot of different people. Seeing different things and learning makes a lot of difference in my life.&#8221; She is enthusiastic about her involvement:  &#8220;Lots of people need help&#8230;.I like to help people.  As long as we are alive, there is a lot to accomplish.&#8221;</p>

Claire Abraham, organisatrice communautaire au Projet Genèse, a contacté Métro mercredi après-midi. Elle a expliqué que l’étude statistique des délais à la Régie du logement avait été effectuée sur les 45 cas de moisissures répertoriés où le locataire, plutôt que le propriétaire, avait déposé la plainte. Le problème soulevé par Métro n’affecte donc pas le résultat de l’étude. La moyenne de délai pour ces cas atteint donc 790 jours, plutôt que 762 jours.</em></p>
<p>Certaines causes bénéficient de délais beaucoup moins important que d’autres devant la Régie du logement du Québec, selon une étude des jugements de la Régie entreprise par le département des sciences juridiques de l’Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM), en collaboration avec Pro Bono UQAM et Projet Genèse, publiée mardi.</p>
<div id="attachment_10494" style="width: 505px" class="wp-caption alignright"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-10494" class="size-portfolio wp-image-10494" src="https://genese.qc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/2015-0610-metro-actu-immeubles-insalubres-495x400.jpg" alt="(Photo: Archives Metro)" width="495" height="400"><p id="caption-attachment-10494" class="wp-caption-text"><em>(Photo: Archives Metro)</em></p></div>
<p>Selon l’étude, les délais de traitement des dossiers où la présence de moisissures a été alléguée sont beaucoup plus longs que lorsqu’un propriétaire porte plainte pour non paiement de loyer. D’après les auteurs du rapport, cela prouve que la Régie accorde plus d’importance aux cas de non paiement de loyer qu’aux plaintes des locataires.</p>
<p>«L’accès à la justice à la Régie du logement est disproportionnément à l’avantage des propriétaires», affirme Isabelle Monast, du Regroupement des comités logement et associations de locataires du Québec (RCLALQ), en réaction au rapport.</p>
<p>Un sentiment que partage Claire Abraham, organisatrice communautaire au Projet Genèse, qui a participé à l’élaboration du rapport.</p>
<p>«Souvent le gens n’auront pas recours à la Régie en premier lieu. C’est une des raisons pour laquelle à la Régie, seulement 10% des causes sont soumises par des locataires. C’est parce que, si ça va prendre deux ans, à quoi ça sert ?» lance-t-elle.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>«Quand les délais sont aussi longs, c’est synonyme d’impunité pour les propriétaires.» – Isabelle Monast, du Regroupement des comités logement et associations de locataires du Québec</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>Questions quant à la méthodologie</strong></p>
<p>Le rapport affirme que les délais peuvent atteindre 762 jours en moyenne lorsqu’il y a des allégations de présence de moisissures dans un logement. Pour en arriver à ce chiffre, on a étudié 187 décisions de la régie où le mot «moisissure» prend une place importante.</p>
<p>Le plus long délai encouru par une cause étudiée dans le rapport est de 3216 jours, pour une plainte déposée en 2004 et finalement entendue en 2013.</p>
<p>Or, vérification faite par Métro, les moisissures ne semblent pas être au coeur de cette cause. Dans le jugement, rendu par le juge François Leblanc, on peut lire que la plainte a été déposée par la propriétaire, qui demandait le recouvrement d’un loyer non payé. La locataire avait expliqué qu’elle avait quitté l’appartement à cause de présence de moisissures, mais n’en avait jamais averti la propriétaire, et n’a pas réussi à le prouver au juge, qui a tranché en faveur de la propriétaire.</p>
<p>Une autre cause, qui elle a pris 1826 jours avant d’aboutir à une décision – le septième plus long délai répertorié par les auteurs du rapport – est de nature similaire. Dans la décision, rendue en 2012 par la juge Jocelyne Gascon, on peut lire que la propriétaire allègue que ses locataires sont responsables de la présence de moisissures dans l’appartement. La juge décide que la preuve en ce sens n’est pas suffisante.</p>
<p>Métro n’a pas été en mesure de rejoindre le Projet Genèse en fin de journée mardi pour savoir si ces causes devraient être incluses dans le calcul de la longueur moyenne des délais, et si cela pourrait affecter le constat.</p>

<p>The group’s Molly Tenzer, speaking at the April council meeting, explained that social housing units built before 1994 benefitted from federal subsidies annually, which have been used to reduce the rent of low-income tenants, and for maintenance work. But she said the agreements are ending for those pre-1994 residences across Canada, “be they cooperatives, non-profit or low-cost housing,” and some Côte St. Luc residences are impacted.</p>
<p>“That’s 585,000 units across Canada,” she added. “Two of the Caldwell residences — one of which is in Côte St. Luc — lost their subsidies in 2014. And the other two buildings will lose their subsidies in 2023. Already, new tenants at Caldwell have to pay full market rent. Right now, in Côte St. Luc, two houses out of five pay more than the standard 30 percent of their income towards housing, and tenants wait years before they can have access to social housing. The potential loss of existing social housing projects only worsens the situation.”</p>
<p>Mayor Anthony Housefather said he would personally support such a resolution, but that it has to be discussed with council first.</p>
<p>“It’s a very serious issue,” he said. “The council is now looking at other options to enhance the amount of housing in Côte St. Luc, in different ways with different groups. I’m hoping, in the next few years, there will be more options in Côte St. Luc and allow for a lesser waiting list and a more modern facilities. But I’ll leave it to those groups to eventually announce where they’re going to locate and when, and if the rezonings go through. For sure, I will bring your proposed resolution to an in-committee [council] discussion, and if we have a consensus, we’ll bring it back and let you know.</p>
<p>“But you have my personal support.”</p>

Deeply frustrated by her situation, the dedication of the team she met there gave her the encouragement she needed to carry on.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After this positive experience, she decided to join the Anti-Poverty and Housing Rights committees.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Albertha is very pleased to be a part of these committees and says that, “I believe that as we continue to persevere, by actions and letters of concern to the government about poverty and homelessness, there will be positive changes in the near future. We need to pursue until change comes. The government cannot continue to pretend that it is not aware of the undesirable situation facing its citizens, so let us be seen and heard!”</p>
