2025 Charities
Cornerstone Housing for Women is dedicated to serving adult women who are experiencing homelessness in Ottawa.
Our emergency shelter, which recently expanded to 150 beds plus 15 overflow spaces, provides immediate relief to those in crisis. In addition to our shelter, we also have four supportive housing communities—Princeton, MacLaren, Booth, and Eccles—together, these communities are home to 150 women. Each night, we support more than 300 women across Ottawa.
Our commitment extends beyond providing immediate shelter. Our service model is centered on meeting each individual where they are in their housing journey and working towards their unique goals. Through our outreach program, we offer ongoing support and case management to women who have transitioned out of our shelter, to help them achieve long-term success in housing.
We have more than 130 staff and almost 200 extraordinary volunteers who provide on-site support and refer women to local resources. Over the past year, we provided more than 200,000 nourishing meals across all of our programs.
