On September 19, 2022, Chez Doris opened the doors of its new night shelter for vulnerable and homeless women on Chomedey Street in Montreal.

With this new facility, Chez Doris continues to respond to the growing needs of vulnerable women and becomes one of the most diversified organizations in Quebec in terms of services offered, housing options, locations and women served. The opening of the night shelter is a pivotal moment in the history of the organization, which is celebrating its 45th anniversary this year.

Chez Doris’ largest-ever fundraising campaign, Chez Doris, Day and Night, which ran from September 2021 to June 2022, raised more than $15 million.

The funds raised allowed Chez Doris to convert a downtown rowhouse and operate a night shelter as well as open a permanent residence with 26 apartments in 2023.
