Action Jeunesse de l’Ouest-de-Île (AJOI) and Ricochet (Hébergement / Homes) are pleased to thank Matelas Bonheur for its generous donation of 44 mattresses. These mattresses will allow us to provide better quality services to vulnerable populations. In fact, part of these mattresses will be used at the Halte-Transition, which welcomes people experiencing homelessness in the West Island (WI), and a part will be given back to people in a situation of great precariousness by our outreach street workers.
Action Jeunesse de l’Ouest-de-île (AJOI) has aimed since 2007 to improve the quality of life of young people and to break the denial of poverty in the WI. Through the values of respect, transparency, openness, solidarity and trust, AJOI’s mission is to establish and maintain outreach street work intervention services with young people aged from 12 to 25 years old, at risk and / or in difficulty of the WI. Our team of outreach street workers is present throughout the WI territory, from Dorval to Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue.
AJOI has also been operating, through Ricochet, the first emergency shelter service for people experiencing homelessness in the WI, the Halte-Transition in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, since December 2020.
These mattresses may be offered to users of our services who have just moved into housing, to young people in difficulty who have just found their first apartment, to single mothers, etc. The needs are unfortunately great and always present; our team is delighted to have a solution at hand for the vulnerable people of our community thanks to Matelas Bonheur, a loyal partner of our organizations for more than 10 years now.
