Who we are? – Foyer du monde

To provide accommodation and a living environment that meets the basic needs of vulnerable migrant families.

to enable them to thrive in their parental role, participate in a support network, and facilitate their integration into their new host community with dignity.

Key values we hold

We create an environment open to all cultures, religions, ages, and genders, where everyone is respected and supported in their integration into Quebec’s values.

We welcome migrants by providing them with safe, warm housing and services that help them feel at home in our society.

We build an organization where everyone’s strengths contribute to greater solidarity and eco-responsibility for universal solidarity.

We use communication as a way to learn from each other’s experiences and create the foundation for a peaceful, respectful, and supportive society.

Origins of Foyer du monde

Foyer du monde was founded in February 2017 by the Dominican family, who wanted to respond to the urgent needs of justice and hospitality for displaced refugee populations. Thanks to the financial, logistical, and volunteer contributions of the Dominican brothers, sisters, and laypeople, the organization was born. The first families were housed in May 2017.

In 2019, the organization became the building’s owner, thanks to the generous donation from the Dominican Sisters of the Trinity. Since then, a team of professionals and volunteers has joined the project, making Foyer du Monde a reference in housing for migrant families with precarious status.
