Ka’wáhse Street Patrol
Indigenous program
The Ka’wàhse street patrol (K1) provides mobile interventions, supplies, information, support and referral services to Indigenous and Non-Indigenous unhoused people living within downtown Montreal. The patrol’s objective is to stabilize and improve the living conditions of those at risk of violence and abuse while living on the streets.
The Ka’wàhse street patrol is responsible for operating weekly cultural nights at The Native Friendship Centre of Montreal. This programming offers community members the opportunity to socialize and find comfort in a warm and culturally- appropriate environment in the evening.

If you are an Indigenous person living, moving to or visiting Tiohtià:ke, the INDex can support you in your steps!
