This working group will consist of recognized experts from a range of sectors (community, philanthropic, institutional, private, academic, and research):<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li><strong>Martin Alain,<\/strong> Service de l\u2019Habitation, Ville de Montr\u00e9al<\/li>\n<li><strong>H\u00e9l\u00e8ne B\u00e9langer,<\/strong> Department of urban studies and tourism, UQAM<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yves Bellavance,<\/strong> Coalition montr\u00e9alaise des tables de quartier (CMTQ)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marjolaine Deneault,<\/strong> Coalition of Housing Committees and Tenants Associations of Quebec (RCLALQ)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Marie-Andr\u00e9e Farmer,<\/strong> Foundation of Greater Montreal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carole Freulon,<\/strong> Direction de sant\u00e9 publique de la Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie<\/li>\n<li><strong>Catherine Gagn\u00e9,<\/strong> Service de la culture, des loisirs, du sports et du d\u00e9veloppement social, Ville de Laval<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sophie Goudreau,\u00a0<\/strong>Direction r\u00e9gionale de sant\u00e9 publique de Montr\u00e9al<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mazen Houdeib,<\/strong> ROMEL<\/li>\n<li><strong>Heather Johnston,<\/strong> Projets Autochtones du Qu\u00e9bec<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sylvio Manfredi,<\/strong> Direction de sant\u00e9 publique de Laval<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fimba Tankoano,<\/strong> Concertation Horizon<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jean Tremblay,<\/strong>\u00a0Direction de la culture, du loisir et du d\u00e9veloppement social, Ville de Longueuil<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additional strategic partners will join in the coming weeks. Meetings to establish an action plan will begin June 23 and continue until the fall.<\/p>\n<p>This group\u2019s output will lay the groundwork for Centraide of Greater Montreal to initiate a broad mobilization that will support agencies and neighbourhood round tables responding to the effects of housing issues. The goal behind this mobilization is to bring stakeholders together to set ambitious objectives and concrete targets and implement systemic, long-term solutions that address current issues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is essential to set ambitious goals for social transformation, question our approaches to collective issues and realign our focus. This requires a collaborative and innovative dialogue with citizens, community organizations, constituency representatives, institutions, businesses, and governments. Having a safe and healthy place to live should not lead to poverty or increase inequality. Housing and its decisive impact on poverty and exclusion will therefore be the top priority in these discussions,\u201d says Claude\u00a0Pinard, President and Executive Director, Centraide of Greater Montreal.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>About Centraide<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>of Greater Montreal<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Centraide of Greater Montreal is an agent of change active in the territories of Laval, Montreal and the South Shore.
