About Cornerstone Housing for Women

At Cornerstone, women experience what ‘home’ truly means – often, for the first time in their lives. We provide emergency shelter and supportive, permanent housing for women and gender-diverse people in Ottawa.

We help people build a meaningful life with supports tailored to their unique, individual needs.

Cornerstone's Vision • Everyone has a home in a community that supports them to live with dignity and hope.

Cornerstone's Mission • We provide a continuum of housing and support for women and gender-diverse people that is inclusive and reduces barriers.

We serve more than three hundred women every day. We have more than 150 full and part-time staff and almost 160 extraordinary volunteers who provide on-site support and refer women to local resources.

Join us on Saturday, February 22nd, 2025 for the Coldest Night of the Year where you can walk and fundraise with us as we raise vital support for those in need right here in our community.
