A worker stares at two signs: \u201crich wanted on the mainland\u201d on the left and \u201cpoor not wanted on Nun\u2019s Island\u201d to the right.<\/p>\n

The cartoon forms part of a gentrification research report prepared by a working group within Verdun\u2019s citizen action committee (Comit\u00e9 d\u2019action des citoyennes et citoyens de Verdun CACV).<\/p>\n

The research group confirmed what many in Verdun instinctively know: increasing rents and the transformation of one-time apartments into condominiums are forcing families out of Verdun.<\/p>\n

An open meeting to discuss what can be done will take place at 5:30 tonight at the CACV headquarters, 3972 Verdun Street. <\/p>\n

The working group reports that 50 families are evicted from the borough for not paying their rent every year.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n
\nMore than a third (33.8%) of the families currently renting in the borough have to pay more for housing than they can afford, primarily because rents are increasing at a higher steeper rate than incomes.<\/p>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nMeanwhile, the Wellington\u2013de L\u2019Eglise sector lost 800 rental units between 2006-2011, while the Desmarchais\u2013Crawford sector lost 280 rental units.<\/p>\n

More than 50 new condominium projects were built in the borough during the same period. Only 14 per cent of the current renters who live in the borough can afford to purchase a condominium at the average price of $250,000.<\/p>\n

Next week, on April 15, at 12:45 p.m., the group will join UQAM students to begin a serious research issue about the subject.<\/p>\n

Then, on Thursday, May 1, they\u2019ve planned a social strike in the borough.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll also participate in FRAPRU\u2019s renter\u2019s rights camp in downtown Montreal beginning on May 21.
