Quebec’s traditional moving day arrives as thousands still looking for new homes
MONTREAL — More than 2,000 Quebec households are seeking help in finding new housing on the province’s traditional moving day.
Most residential leases in Quebec end June 30, resulting in a mass movement of trucks and people as residents simultaneously shift to new homes.
The provincial agency responsible for housing keeps a running tally of how many households have sought help in finding a new home.
It includes people who are getting help from housing groups, as well as people who are temporarily staying in hotels or with friends or family.
