The homelessness emergency

The homelessness emergency

Ottawa became the first city in Canada to declare homelessness an emergency in January 2020.

In 2025, over 80,000 Ontarians are homeless. And without significant intervention, this number could triple to almost 300,000 by 2035.

In Ottawa, almost 3,000 people are homeless, with 500+ living outside.

More on Homelessness in Ottawa

The Ottawa Mission works with people experiencing homelessness and poverty to make a change in their lives. 

Whether it’s providing a place to sleep and a meal to eat, or offering educational support and job training, The Ottawa Mission helps rebuild lives every day.
