Some squatter homes are strong enough to withstand the move. They must first be raised and solidified. There follows the installation on wooden skids provided by the government. A tractor is also provided for free. However, squatters must first have bought a lot in Malartic. The lot must also be ready to receive the house with foundations, levelling, etc.
