About Cornerstone Housing for Women

We provide emergency shelter and safe affordable permanent housing for women in Ottawa.

At Cornerstone, women experience what ‘home’ truly means – often, for the first time in their lives.

We help them build a meaningful life that fits their individual needs.

We strive to increase safe housing and to end homelessness. Our five residences cater to women at every stage of their journey.....

We are committed to public education and advocacy.

We serve almost two hundred women every day. We have more than 65 full and part-time staff and almost 300 extraordinary volunteers who provide on-site support and refer women to local resources
