Our latest report showcases our journey, triumphs, challenges, and the tireless dedication of our community.
The shortage of affordable housing has created an emergency.
With over 12,000 people waitlisted for subsidized housing, Ottawa became the first city to declare homelessness an emergency in January 2020. This means many people sleep outside in below freezing temperatures for days or months at a time.
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.
