Resource Centres
We operate eight centres that support over 1000 Ottawa Community Housing tenants with services ranging from crisis support to community development, so that we can prevent homelessness in our city.
Helping tenants keep their homes.
We know that keeping your housing is as important as finding it in the first place. We also know that meeting people where they are increases the odds of getting them the help they need.
That’s why we’ve placed our eight resource centres in Ottawa Community Housing buildings: to make practical support easily accessible to a large number of clients so they can maintain stable housing. We do our best to make sure clients are well connected with their community and we see them thrive as a result.
Our team of Housing Support workers is available Monday to Friday during the day to connect with tenants when they need someone to talk to. They help with issues such as:
- crisis intervention
- food security
- supportive listening
- community activities
- assistance with documentation
- facilitating communication with the landlord
Our resource centres are located at the following Ottawa Community Housing properties:
