About This Cause
Our work addresses the barriers and social inequities faced by over 32,000 tenants living in Ottawa Community Housing; Ottawa’s largest social housing provider. People living in OCH represent diverse backgrounds, including single-parent families, individuals living with disabilities, seniors on fixed incomes and newcomers to Canada. With an average monthly income of $1,588, tenants of OCH are some of the most vulnerable people in our city, placing them at a health and well-being disadvantage. OCH Foundation is a partner for effecting immediate change and building a healthy, inclusive and vibrant community. We continue to convene and bring together stakeholders and community and tenant leaders to better understand the complexity of vulnerable populations living in OCH. This allows us to effectively and efficiently respond to tenant needs and provide or facilitate connections to programs and services that improve individual, family and community well-being.
